Welcome, Vincent! We’re definitely looking forward to your progress updates and eventually, your first app! Thanks for choosing to learn with us. We’re just here if you need assistance. Enjoy!
Hello CodeCrew,
My name is David (Dave, either one). I’ve done little of everything throughout the years, from carpentry to truck driving, and a lot of my Plan B… nursing. I currently have a very small home health agency, and am also working with a startup here in Pennsylvania.
A few years ago I decided to begin what I called my BSIDK: Bachelors In Stuff I Don’t Know. What began with welding and small engine repair has eventually led to building a restaurant app that I’ve wanted for years and building a better way of record keeping for my agency.
Outside of using an iPhone, I’m really green when it comes to computers, so I’m looking forward to many hours of frustration and horror because I can’t perform the simplest task or find something on the screen. At least I won’t have the guilt of being on the clock.

This is awesome, David! Impressive how you were able to learn so many skills along the way. Feel free to let us know more about your app! Share insights as well on your app development journey because your thoughts might help others. Glad to welcome you to the CodeCrew family!
HI, Girija! Thanks for making a wise decision. Start with our free YouTube tutorials about Swift. Just check out our channel because we have playlists there that you can watch in order. And it’s important to start applying what you are learning. So get your Mac computer ready and download Xcode. Have fun, and welcome to the CodeCrew fam!

We are welcoming you with open arms, Sivani! Thank you so much for learning with us! Have fun learning. We are just here for you!
Hello Code Crew. My name is Simon, I am an electrical engineer and have some experience with coding from my years in college. I just finished the 10 lesson series and I must say, if I had you as a professor in college I might have become a CS major instead. I am currently working on an app in my spare time with a few friends, we are going to build a small company around it for fun. If things work out with it, fantastic. If things do not, I will be able to say that I have a published app, maybe more than one. I look forward to taking the course that you have to offer here.
Thanks for allowing me to introduce myself,
Simon

Greetings, everyone. I joined primarily to thank Chris for his gentle, clear, encouraging, step-by-step approach. I am having a lot of fun coding my own projects now.
I started programing the Mac in the late 1980’s or early 1990’s. I used HyperCard and procedural Pascal. I created several shareware programs.
Until I took Chris’ courses, I was completely flummoxed by object oriented programing and I really didn’t like Objective-C. Swift feels a lot more comfortable and I have the confidence to keep coding to get the apps I want to use myself.
Like Mark, I am an ordained Christian minister (over 40 years). I served in Kenya for over a decade and I love Muslims.
I’m looking forward to getting to know and learning from all of you!

Hi everyone!
My name is Yulia, I’ve been studying with Chris for a while, and finally decided to introduce myself
Currently I work as a remote translator, and I want to switch to iOS programming. I’ve always been keen on computers and programming, but then decided to study languages instead. Now I’m sure I want to develop apps! It’s all basically new to me (I had some experience with VBA however, but only a little and long ago), so sometimes I feel like I will never learn, also I feel really lost when I think about building something from scratch. However, when I started watching Chris’s videos, it really started to fall into place! And now I’m a lot more confident. Thank you for such amazing videos and the community!

Hi CodeCrew,
My name is Rainer from snowy Finland. During my working days I occasionally made small apps in Visual Basic, Lisp and Delphi. I found it challenging and exiting.
Now I am retired so I have a lot of time tackling app developing challenges. As have an iPhone, an iPad and a iMac the only way to go is Xcode.
I already earlier made an shopping list app for my wife and me. It was built for IOS12 and now both our phones are iPhone 12, so I have started to rebuild the app on SwiftUI and that needs new knowledge and skills so that is basically why I am here - to learn to master SwifytUI in combination with Firestore.
