I tried that course and I was not impressed. The video quality was poor, and while the course was rather comprehensive, it wasn't thorough and even the final projects were less about building your own app than building pieces of apps. That said, buying books didn't really work for me. The way I learned was buying work from developers, and then hacking it to pieces with the help of online guides, books, and videos from Think Vitamin and PeepCode. Another trick I used was paying freelancers to build apps, and then as part of the job requirement, asking them to record a video of them writing certain pieces of code, and explaining how I can change things on my own. Worked well.
