Thanks for the incredibly helpful advice! I definitely want to participate in a hackathon within the next couple of years. The experience seems grueling but extremely rewarding (for most people). 1. It seems like a good idea is to keep functionality more or less the same, but maybe amp up the design aspect of the view. 2. BNR's book has an entire chapter dedicated to Core Data, but I will definitely check out the lectures on that subject (I may even go through the entire course if I feel the need). 3. This is a subject that I have witnessed many developers struggle with. The idea of creating something that people will WANT to use is something that excites me more than anything. I realize that I should focus on building concrete features before I attempt to make a plethora of them. I want to plan out my future apps before actually coding any of them. I want to teach myself to develop professionally, right from the beginning. I really appreciate these tips, as I know I will be checking this thread again when I really start my own projects. Thank you! I cannot wait work on amazing projects someday!
