37 Tips for Software Developers Oct 13, 2019

Show notes

This is the audio from a recent video I did about 37 Tips for Software Developers. This might by my favorite video that I've ever done. I think there is a TON of great value in there. This video was sponsored by Squarespace, so I apologize for the ads in there. They were integrated into the video, so it's tough edit them out.

Origin Stories #25 - Kim Arnett - iOS Dev @ Expedia Oct 10, 2019

Show notes

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with Kim Arnett, iOS developer at Expedia. We get to hear how Kim got her start as well as some insights on changing jobs roughly every two years and how that's pretty common in the tech space. What's especially interesting about Kim is that she is the host of her local meetup and we have a great discussion on the pros and cons of starting your own meetup when the current meetups you want aren't up to par, or flat out don't exist. I 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.

The Journey #1 - Jeff Lai Oct 07, 2019

Show notes

In this VERY FIRST episode of The Journey I sit down with Jeff Lai. Jeff has been a researcher for 17 years and is looking to finally make the career change into iOS development. He's been learning iOS dev off and on since 2010 and is finally getting serious about making the change. We talk about how he's struggling with closures, delegates & protocols, networking and more. There's a lot of good advice given in this episode, if I do say so myself :).

The Journey is a series of interviews with aspiring iOS developers from the community where we discuss where they are at in their journey to become an iOS Developer. We talk their stuggles and their successes in hopes to give insights to those of you on this same journey. I also give advice along the way.
