From Learning Swift to AR Startup Founder - Allen Wixted's Story




iOS Dev Discussions - Sean Allen show

Summary: <p>Many of you are at some point in your journey to learn Swift and iOS Development. Most, like myself, did this with the intention of working for a company as an iOS Developer. Well... there's also another way to do this. You can start your OWN company. I wanted to share Allen Wixted's story because he did exactly that. A little over a year ago he started learning Swift and iOS Development so he could start is Augmented Reality startup called No Place Like. In this interview Allen shares his story on how he got started learning Swift, the resources he used, how he networked and launched his startup. No Place Like is now a part of a Google Incubator in Ireland.
