Designer to iOS developer - Where to get started?
over 6 years ago from Mel Baylon, Designer

On this path for over a year now.
+1 for Paul Hegarty's course.
My suggestion:
- Nail down the basics at Treehouse or at Ray Wenderlich.
- Complete this course by Apple: https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/
- Continue to Hegarty's course while completing the homework assignments.
- Each assignment you complete, go back and do a course at Treehouse.
- Always go back to refresh on your basics.
- Get comfortable with searching through Apple's documentation https://developer.apple.com/documentation as well as online.
- Understanding will only sink in during practice - watching videos and reading is not enough.
Good luck!

How is it going after one year? What are you capable of? What about backend stuff? I am really curious :-)
I can build a simple app, something like a calculator. I can handle api requests and build simple layouts. No backend stuff.
My learning has been, and continues to be, a slow and grueling process considering I have only 1 day a week for this.
Keep Going!!!
