iOS App Careers and Accomplishments?

Hello, i'm about to take a dive into the iOS track and i'm just wondering if anyone has a career now building apps. I would love to hear your story what you had to do to get there!

For example, did you use any other sources to learn from besides treehouse?

Was it really difficult for you?

How old were you when you started learning how to build apps?

Do you have a degree in college? If so, what is it?

and... what advice would you give a person that is starting to learn how to build apps!

Thank you for your time! I can't wait to read your stories!

Treehouse gives an excellent background and present information in a well-structured and simple language. Among all techedu projects TH is the best. I think that Treehouse is so well because of tutors – I think they are great and very professional.

As for me:

  • I have an IT background in Moscow State University but the last 4 months I've learned from threehouse more than there.
  • As for sure learning is a complicated process and you can't do well until you are answering your questions by yourself. You have to google and check stackoverflow.com/ – it helps. Everything you need is to ask the right questions and treehouse helps to design your thinking in that way.
  • Everything is difficult. But it isn't something that impossible. I think it is very important to track your progress and see result.
  • I built the first program 7 years ago when I was 17 but then I gave it.

My advice is just keep on going and start creating neither thinking.
