389 PointsWhich path to take
Hello, I have signed up for team treehouse several times but I always find myself confused with what to start with. I need to learn about Azio because I want to get marketing leads for a start up that I am working on, but I would also like to learn how to program and be able to make iOS and android apps as well as websites. There is one other thing I am trying to do which is a very simplified version of this App that exists on the iOS market. Please let me know what you suggest as I am paying every month for this subscription but don't really know where to start or what to do. Thank you very much

Lets start by taking a deep breath... now: Question: what is your priority?
- Improve your skills in business;
- Improve your skills in web design/development;
- Improve your skill in App development;
Those are 3 different paths and tackling all at the same time would make you end up lacking the proper attention to one of them (if not all).
I can't and won't tell you "you should do this", because I don't think anybody is on that position. You need to make that decision for yourself, just find out what your main priority is. If it's business, start with the courses under business; if it's web, start with courses in HTML and CSS (then build up to Javascript and PHP and etc); if it's App development, then start with iOS/Android.
Treehouse is pretty good at pointing out which courses are "Basic", "Intermediate" and "Advanced" under any of those categories, so those you can look up.
If you focus in one at a time and devote the time to learn each one, you can actually accomplish a lot without half learning anything.
Hope that sheds some light.

389 PointsHey Flavio, thank you for the rapid response. I guess I just want to take on too many things at once. What is a good place to get into the programming and coding world? I want to start with a good language for that. Also, as far as the business path goes I just need to learn about marketing.
