Robinson went on to make an iOS version of the party game Mafia to play with his friends, and he hopes to pursue a career in the technology sector. I’ve become more confident thinking logically through issues when they arise and dealing with them effectively.” “Self-taught developers all face this problem, but it has also made me more resilient and independent. “I didn’t know any app developers when I got stuck I was usually left at the mercy of whatever answers I could find on Stack Overflow,” Robinson says. Like Kumar, Robinson found Paul Hudson’s Hacking With Swift tutorials helpful, as they guided him through a range of APIs and encouraged him to build things with them along the way. But he says the iOS developer community was supportive and offered a wealth of resources to draw upon. He got bogged down at first by thinking about everything he was coding too literally and trying to implement functions that performed way too many operations. There is a mental leap from thinking about everything procedurally to abstracting your code and using object/protocol-oriented designs.” "Unless I knew exactly how an API worked, it could be difficult to find the specific component I needed. “Apple’s Documentation felt quite intimidating at the start," Robinson says. He started developing his first proper iPhone app when he was 13 but had been learning about programming for a couple of years.
Ben Robinson, the young developer of Anxiety Relief: Find Your Calm, tells a similar tale.
