Origin Stories #20 - Chris Conner - iOS Engineer @ VRBO Jul 20, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with long-time community member and fellow iOS Engineer, Chris Conner. Chris has a very unique origin story since he transitioned from a Product Manager to an iOS Engineer, not only at the same company, but on the same team as well. I wanted to have Chris on the show to share his story to maybe give some inspiration to those out there that are in one position at a company, but really want to become an iOS Engineer. Hope you enjoy!

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.

Show notes

In this episode I give a preview of my book, It's Only Crazy Until You Do It: How I Became an iOS Developer by reading the Intro and Chapter 1. This book was the inspiration for the podcast show Origin Stories. After writing this book, I thought it would be awesome to hear other people's stories as well, and the podcast was born. My hope for this book is that it will inspire and give you insights for your journey to become an iOS Developer. If you're interested in the rest of the book, check out the link below:

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with indie iOS Developer, Edouard Barbier, creator of YT Tracker & YT Sticker. Ed makes his living by creating his own apps for the App Store and does an amazing job of documenting his work on Instagram Stories. He's a must follow for any iOS developer interested in creating their own products. In this episode we discuss how he is self taught and how he decided to make the leap to going indie. I really enjoyed this episode and hope you do too!

We get to hear how she first got exposed to basic code while playing with Neopets while in middle school and how she decided to pursue a CS degree while in college. This led to internships which then led to her first job, and then ultimately to a job a Patreon. We also get to hear her reasoning for starting a YouTube channel and her advice for getting started with content creation in the space. Stay tuned for a bonus section at the end about her new venture into the super fun world of Twitch streaming.
