Hi Kavita - I would suggest Swift as it does not have a steep learning curve like Objective - C. However if you plan on making a career as an IOS programmer I would suggest that you also cover the basics of Objective-C and familirize yourself with the libraries. Swift is still in its infant stages as far as programming languages go, but there are still several resources available online outside of the Treehouse spectrum.

Hi Kavita,

Looks like your looking for the Beginner iOS Development track.

This course will start you on the basics of the Swift language (the objective-C based language utilized by iOS and Xcode). Once your at an appropriate competency with the language you will jump into making your very first app.

Best of luck on all your Endeavors. I hope this helps.

I would recommend Swift over Objective C. I was building an app with Objective C, but it is challenging to find up to date sample code since so many people are going to Swift. Swift is a new language.

I was just stating that Swift is objective-C Based. The track mentioned above does cover swift ;)

thank you everyone :)

I have started the Swift 3 track. So far I am finding that I have to alot of reading outside treehouse to progress. The end goal is to produce ios apps. I will continue on this track and might dig into objective- c as needed. :)
