A self-paced iOS app development course by Hegarthy that teaches building iOS apps in Swift. Commenters point to it as a practical path to making real apps without a formal degree.

One commenter says that after taking the course and understanding it, they could build a real iOS app for a researcher by reasoning through problems without referring back to it.

    Two years to become a senior engineer out of college is a joke.

    Sure

    After a University degree, you only really know what page in your textbook to turn to when you recognise a problem.

    No.

    My first job during college was to create an iOS app for a researcher (an extensive multimedia questionnaire). What I did: take Hegarthy's course, and understand it. After that, I simply could create the app by thinking logically. I didn't refer back to the course while I created the app.

    My first job out of college was upgrading some Java CRUD app. I had the fortune of teaching at a coding bootcamp (as I self-taught NodeJS and then taught it). That NodeJS experience, including with having familiarity with the Java syntax was enough to edit files for a Spring Boot application. Simply by reading the code, I understood what happened and how they wanted me to design things.

    No textbook required.

    don’t harm someone with your shitty design.

    It's possible that might've happened.
