Ryan Baumbach describes his career arc from working in IT to software QA and from software QA to iOS engineering.

He shares how he did it: through self-study and zero post-graduate studies, through two recessions and ~8 different iOS versions.

We cover topics including:

  • why non-engineering roles can be a great foot in the door
  • what are the bare minimum requirements for getting started with iOS development
  • why testing is important in software development and how to use it in the context of developing apps for iPhone and iPad
