How many times have you heard this from people? For me, it’s too many to count… Ultimately I work on iOS, because it’s what I love. It’s something that doesn’t seem like work to me. It’s fun and exciting. Humble Beginnings A few years ago was a different story. Objective-C and Cocoa were new and [...]
