I am a professional, self taught iOS Developer with 2 apps published to the App Store. In my courses I will teach you everything I learned on my journey to becoming a professional iOS Developer, from knowing nothing about programming at all!
Because I am self-taught, I understand what all levels of developers need to improve. Take my courses and let me know what you think!
