I had a (relative to my profession) decent understanding of web languages(HTML/Php etc) from years in the marketing world, had a decent technical understanding, watched parts of the Stanford CS courses, and a lot of guess and check.. Google and throwing ideas around with technically minded friends/devs helped validate the ways I was approaching it. In the end I went to the source - Xcode and swift. In a fortunate way, moving to Canada right as the pandemic started meant I naturally had a lot more free time that I may have spent catching up with friends, travelling etc. Initially I was searching for local devs to work with but without a network and no one wanting to meet up with randoms I gave up and started to try do more and more myself. I should add it took me far longer than I would have liked - or a real dev would have taken. But my hope is with a true MVP in the hands of potential real clients it might be more appealing to the right person to take it on.
