Shaun Donnelly, developer turned manager turned developer with Indie apps on the side.
Description
Shaun took me up on a request on Mastodon to come on my podcast.
We had a great conversation about how he ventured into management as a software developer. We also talk about how he got into software and iOS app development. Shaun took the React route. Start with web development, get started with React, progress into React native and then making the leap into native app development.
Ray Wenderlich, now called Kodeco was instrumental in learning about iOS app development.
