DrNuke thanks for the honest answer! This might sound dumb but can you mention the list of talents I must have to establish myself in the market? Thank you
Cheers! First of all, you need strong self-esteem to keep going without getting discouraged by the many and many and many rejections of any kind you will face along the road. Second, from a technical point of view it really depends on what you are going to work on (games, consumer apps, business apps, etc.) and what you are exactly willing to offer: programming, deployment, quality assurance, etc. Third, networking is the key: start by meeting like-minded people locally and work in team to build a portfolio until you get your first gig. Fourth, you are on HN and therefore smart enough to know that Google is your best friend to grow a skillset on your own, so just start with searching “ios mobile developer how to start” from past year and have a look at the first page of results. Good luck!
Thanks DrNuke! And Thanks for the great advice.
FYI I am not new to iOS development and I am an iOS developer with a decent experience. I am googling for many years sir! But I still need good materials that people went through already and I need their word for it, for E.g. the books offered by raywenderlich.com looks pretty promising but I’m not sure how informative or helpful it will be. So I hope the experts at HN can provide me and other iOS developers a direction to become an expert, the parts of iOS sdk we should master and the skills we should acquire to become the best.
