One of my New Year’s resolutions was to develop an app. I’m a UX designer by day so by no means was this going to be easy for me but I’m happy to report that my app was approved yesterday.<p>Here’s what I learned from the experience:<p>1. find a few good resources in different formats - bought a book, took a course on udemy, browsed different sites - this helped me learn in different ways and i was able to see what was most important to learn and different ways to do the same thing<p>2. stop reading. start doing - learned the most when I actually started coding and solving real problems. Made a few stupid, rookie bugs on the way.<p>3. don’t start from zero - saved lots of time by finding libraries to use from cocopods & github. stack overflow was was a godsend.<p>Would love for you to check it out and offer any suggestions/improvements.
