Some people did not even get a formal CS education and are self taught. During this time, I have seen what each engineer of the above…

If you’re wondering how you can become a professional iOS developer, here’s what I’d recommend you do, in this order. I speak from (a) my professional experience in 5 years as an iOS consultant and 8 years as a software developer and (b) as a hiring manager – I’ve hired several iOS developers over the last 3 years to handle overflow work that I’m too busy to do. These are the things I look for when hiring an iOS developer. The order here is important – each subsequent step builds on the previous – and in some cases, the earlier ones are a prerequisite to later ones (as in absolutely…

That was a mouthful. We wanted to make it as easy as possible for you to get started with iOS development by streamlining this key pain point of app and device provisioning

With the new Xamarin Live Player, you can deploy, run, test and debug iOS apps directly from a Windows PC that runs Visual Studio. With this, Microsoft is closing the loop for most developers and is getting a step closer to its goal of positioning Windows 10 as the preferred operating…
