Have you ever wondered how the apps on your phone are built? Well, in today's episode we dive into the basics of mobile development with Natalia Panferova, a real life iOS developer. Natalia is a bit of an icon when it comes to iOS development: she worked at Apple, she has her own blog all about iOS development, and she has written two books about Swift, a programming language for iOS.

In our chat with Natalia, we talk about what mobile development is, the differences between iOS and Android development, and how it differs to full stack development. Natalia also shares her expertise on how to get started in mobile development by recommending some basic concepts you should learn and some tools to help you along the way.

New episodes come out fortnightly on Wednesday morning (NZT).
