5 years of iOS
A really nice insight following how Ash Furrow got into iOS development and contracting. I would urge any new aspiring iOS developers to read this.

refactor your heart (or, “how not to collapse on the road with cramping triceps while trying to learn the Swift Programming Language”)
I came across this post by Janie Clayton-Hasz where she paints a frightening picture of her spending every waking hour, plus hours where she is supposed to be sleeping, engaged in an epic struggle to ingest the vast sea of knowledge that is the iOS development platform.
