Hey Everyone,
My name is Mason More. I have been a barber by trade for the last 5 years in Toronto.
With the quarantine taking me away from work I thought it better of my time to learn something new rather than just play Xbox the whole time. I have wanted to make a recipe website for some time now, so April 1st I started on my programming journey with an online Intro to Computer Science course. That introduced iOS and I quickly was steered away from the web dev path I was on and started on my iOS path which then led me to CodeWithChris which I started July, 10th.
I’ve just started on the News app and am super excited learning this stuff, especially when something connects and I realize how I could implement this in the iOS recipe app (changed from recipe website) that I’m striving to make.
Through learning iOS and enjoying it so much I actually am looking at a career change into iOS development when I am ready. I have been told by a CodeWithChris alumni that this was the only course needed to be job market ready so I’m driven to complete this course and become the best iOS developer I was always meant to be!

Hi guys.
I’ve been a hobbyist programmer since the 80’s. I used many programming languages, but was never good at any. Err… OOP is still not clear to me.
Anyways, the last language that I used was Microsoft VB 2010. Two years ago I bought myself an iMac. And… let just say I don’t wanna see PC ever again.
I want to learn swift. I found some of your lessons on Youtube and found them very helpful. I would like to thank you for those, Chris.
I’ve been going through the video about swift basics many times and at the same time I’ve been working with your first app (war card game) where you explain
so well how to access event-driven elements, and where to put the code. Thank you again.
(I apologize for any grammar errors; English language is foreign to me.)

Hi everyone.
My name is Rishi Dixit, I’m from India and I’m 16
I learnt code during the quarantine through codeWithChris and I love it. Its the most exciting and cool thing that I’ve ever done. First I started coping Chris program then I did a few modifications on it then I tried making the apps on my own and now after a month I am capable of replicating most of the components of the big apps like instagram or amazon.
I have these questions for which I haven’t found any perfect answer yet is how to disable screen recording like netflix and how to start guided access in an app like if a person is giving a test i dont want him to jump out of the app that I created and use the browser.
Peace

I have dabbled in CSS and HTML but Ive decided to go with Swift as my first programming language. Im aspiring to make apps that help affect change in the world and in how humans interact with technology.

Hey everyone,
My name is Josh and I’m just starting with this coding and app development journey (yesterday) I’ve always enjoyed computers and thought it would be fun to build my own apps. Recently at work I was asked to work on creating a custom form for warranties and would love to now turn it into an app! I look forward to learning more and more.

Any thoughts… Thank you for giving me this opportunity to introduce my self.
