So I've been learning the swift language the past 4 weeks, creating various apps and learning on youtube prior to treehouse for roughly 2 weeks and then another 2 weeks on treehouse just completing the first app. The best way to learn is doing rather than just pretty much copying.
I have an app in mind that I can't imagine being too difficult but would definitely take me some extra learning. I'm unsure whether to go ahead with my app and learn things as i go a long while carrying on with the treehouse course or to take on some sort of challenges else where and creating smaller apps first.
What should be my next step?

I would recommend to get started with your app and as you get stuck, complete other tutorials on this website or online to fill in the gaps. I have found that to be one of the best ways to learn because you feel like you are moving towards a goal (launching your first app) vs. just completing online tutorials.
I hope that helps,
Mike
PS: After much trial and error, I was able to launch my first app helping others learn how to code in swift.

PPS: I could not have developed the above app without going through the awesome resources on Team Treehouse. Stick with it. It is so worth it!
