Agreed. I'm self-taught and have been working in the industry for 12 years now. The way I got started was that I had a project I needed to do, so I figured out what I needed to know to get it done. The same is true with my iPhone app -- I knew nothing about Objective-C when I started it, and it's 3 years old now. Learning for the sake of learning is fine, but learning how to build something you want to build and really seeing it come to life is a pretty phenomenal way to learn.
- conradev 15y agoI also agree. I tried reading a book on Objective-C, read the first two chapters, and ditched it for the iPhone SDK. I messed around, and tried making some ideas come to life. It took me a couple months, but eventually I was fluent in Objective-C.
