How I Went From ZERO to iOS Dev in 7 Months

I like mobile dev, but there are some problems.
1)70% of vacancies wanna get somebody who knows IOS+Android
2)market is not that good compare to webdev, even more jobs for frontend or backend

But I still love SwiftUI ☺️

Your voice is clear. I learned a lot from you.

not really bro not really cant believe it

Question! do i need to learn and finish the basic first like freecodecamp course then start getting IOS Dev path ( like codecedemy/your course)???

hi, so Html&CSS then Swift is your first and only language you learn and practice? thx

Hi, im new in apple dev environment, I have an apple ID registered in a team dev account, can I have personal account cert with the same apple ID?

Hi Sean, excellent story I had a question for you. But first a let me add a small detail. I've been learning JavaScript, CSS and HTML for about 7 months as well making small projects. Now to complete a full stack I've been picking up very quickly PHP and some MySQL. To be honest I like web development but for a while now in the back of my mind I've always wanted to actually be a mobile developer, but I don't see many jobs in mobile. My question is this, would you recommend I try mobile development using React Native despite the many problems I keep on hearing when it comes to development using React Native or simply try either Swift or Flutter? My goal is to learn on the side and if possible, to quickly as possible try and launch a simple app like a blog app. This would be a hobby on the side but since it would be my first experience, I really don't want to deal with too many complications if that is even possible. I just need to have that first good experience which maybe could motivate me into becoming a mobile developer, thanks Sean for the supportive videos.

I also learned iOS programming following the same platforms)))) tthouse was ok))

I wanted to speed up the video as I usually do to save time but I had to slow this one down

congrats for 100k, this video inspired to come into iOS dev

Hey Sean! Thanks for this video. I have always wanted to learn coding, and I decided that this was the year I would start, but didn't really know where to begin. Then I found swift, kind of by accident, and was just fascinated by it. I am now, where you were at the beginning of your journey, so it's great to have these insights!

Which database good for iOS dev ?

Whats the name of the wonderlic thing you paid for? I'd like to check it out. Thanks!

SO useful!! Thank you. I had such a similar path - even had the boot camp cancel on me 😓 but I kept persisting. And yes, we have a toddler at home. This is inspiring. I’m finishing my first three apps for the App Store now! (bug testing now)

Amazing video Sean, love the honesty. Very inspiring!

I become an iOS dev in one day... they just left MacBook for me on my desk in company I worked for 🤣

I’m in the udacity course and it’s so hard bc there’s no one there to help you

cant believe this is 4 years ago

Thanks a lot Sean for these videos. i am currently a front end developer and interested in mobile dev. why every-time i look up iOS developer jobs on indeed and linkedin, i dont see that many ;/ are these jobs only posted on companies' sites? Appriciate the help

3 hours a day it's a pretty decent time to spend studying.

So here is a funny story, the company I worked in, I joined as an Android developer. The iOS developer quit the job. I was given a mac next day. And I became an iOS developer

Just visited that Udacity website. Now it's 400$ a month... That's like a third of my salary, which is considered substantial in my country.

Such inspiration. I loved it. I've just started to apply. I'm not feeling good but I'll keep pushing.

Thanks

What is the difference between a boot camp and just reading a book/watching tutorial videos online? Seems like a waste of money.

❤️

Right off the bat with a fresh prince reference. This is a high energy video lol

Thank you for this

YOur talking is better with 0.75 speed :D but thanks for this video

Amazing :-) thanks Sean

Just what I needed to watch! Thank you Sean for sharing your experiences ⚡️🙌🏻

I’m frustrated.. I’ve been designing electronics for 40 years, been coding for 30 years for arcade games, then casino games. I have a degree in hardware, but self taught in software. Before Dec 2018, I coded only in Assembly, but I learned iOS Swift and within 1.5 months, I can now write advanced (commercially viable) games in Swift. But I can’t seem to break into a software career!

Yepppppp thanks!

You are inspiring me to continue my udemy iOS & swift 5 course I paid over a year ago AND just now started 😆

Just starting off on the IOS Dev. Thank you for the honest testimonial. Good luck on your journey.

What did you do before you started iOS development? Just curious. Also great insightful video thank you! :)

How old were you when you decided to change the job?

Hey Sean, loved hearing your story! Inspires me to keep learning lol. But in terms of bootcamps, do the certificates you get do anything for you in a job search?

Hey Sean, I'm getting ready for Hack Reactor. I wanted to get your input on what you've heard of the boot camp? And I appreciate this video. I was slacking off and this video got me back.

Thanks for sharing your story. I'm currently nearing completion of Harvards CS50 class online via Edx. It's something I started during Covid Lockdown but that anyone can start on the side while still working. The class is free and in 9 lessons, you get a great basic introduction to coding in general. Homework assignments ramp up in dificulty and there is a discord server that you can turn to for assistance if needed. Any thoughts on the this course Sean?

Udacity is trash! Went there for 2 months and learned nothing plus my mentor sucked and the material was dated.I went to CWC he started to frustrate me. Finally got to UDEMY and it’s great so far. Thanks for the story, it let’s me know I’m not alone.

Hey sean
i complated strong foundation on swift
but i don't know the way to start making app how i get it ??

I'm still unclear on what bootcamp you went to? I don't see many with iOS tracks.
