I'm a freelance iOS developer living in soma SF. I do feel that a lot of what I bring to the table is the ability to work onsite and discuss things face to face. Despite all of our technological advances, I feel like there is just no s

One pro of using Swift which I haven't seen mentioned here is that you will be able to attract more developers to your project if you write it in Swift. Everyone wants to work on the new hotness. This is a long term value and could out

Sounds like the open/closed principle of SOLID development. "Objects should be open to extension but closed to modification". This basically means that users of your code shouldn't have to modify your classes to add functionality. It should

It's so true. I've been a freelance iOS developer for a year now and half of my contracts have been fixing amateur looking code of large consulting firms. Is this endemic of iOS work or all software development? My theory is that consulting

CocoaPods ( http://cocoapods.org/ ) is a really easy way to integrate 3rd party libraries into your iOS and OSX projects. It follows a similar pattern to bundler for ruby; you just specify a library by name and a version number in your Podf

by tylerc230 14y ago
From what I understand, even unknown actors have agents to find them parts in commercial or as extras etc. so I'm not convinced only irreplaceable people need agents. I agreed that it is less convenient for the hiring manager because they a
