Will the tutorials on Treehouse teach me how to build this app?

I am learning Ruby and Rails. I'm probably 2 out of 10 in terms of skill level.

As a side project to help me learn I want to build an app that lets me share text, photos or videos to social networks like Twitter, Instagram, Facebook etc. I don't necessarily want to store the posts anywhere, more compose and post updates.

It's a web app to start with. I guess Wren is a good example of a similar product.

Can I learn the skills I need to do this from the tutorials on Treehouse? Is there a similar project that I could use as a starter? Thanks in advance.

Blair;

There is a similar app that is covered in the AJAX Basics course that walks you through connecting to the Flickr API. While it covers some of the basics of AJAX, I would recommend having at a minimum a basic understanding of JavaScript prior to delving into that course.

Happy Coding,

Ken
