This video covers some of the pros and cons. If you’d like to download the slides for this presentation, you […]

In this episode’s Q&A, I’m sharing my answer for a common question that I get all the time and that is: Can I use a PC and Windows to build iPhone and iPad apps? There are some PC based solutions which I talk about in the episode. If you would like to expand on them, […]

Have you ever found yourself without an Internet connection and the need to search for a piece of code or info on a method? As iOS developers, we work with Objective-C and Swift and you can download the iOS 8/Xcode 6 library from the settings in Xcode. Those 2 languages aren’t the only ones we […]
