While he attended a coding bootcamp, he also laid out a plan for how he would go about it with the self-taught path as well. I hope this helps! Questions: 0:00 - Intro 1:05 - How Dave become an iOS developer 14:57 - Is mobile development entry-level friendly? 20:22 - How’d you even find your internship role? 26:01 - Should you learn a native language or just learn something like React Native? 30:28 - Did you really need the coding bootcamp in order to become a mobile developer? 33:08 - If you were to have gone the self-taught path, what resource(s) would you have used? 38:54 - What were your first couple of professional mobile developer positions like? 46:36 - Do you ever think about what it would be like if you never became a mobile developer, and just stayed in your old industry? 49:10 - Where you can reach Dave if you have more questions Dave Jacobsen (guest): Linkedin - https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidjacobsen1 Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/c/DaveJacobseniOS
