iOS history and evolution

Why take this course?

Are you looking forward to your next iOS developer job interview but not quite sure how to prepare and leave a great impression?

This is exactly how I felt years ago when I just started interviewing. With experience, I developed a method that helped me make an excellent impression on every interview.

To achieve this I invested time in taking notes on what worked and what didn’t. I spoke with a multitude of technical recruiters. And later, as a team leader, I also interviewed close to a hundred iOS engineers.

Now, I am ready to share my knowledge with you in this course. If you’re a junior developer I will guide you through what to expect in your first interviews; if you’re an intermediate or senior developer, I will help you prepare and polish your interview skills for that next exciting role.

I’m proud to present my new “Mastering the iOS Interview” course in which I’m going to explain the following:

what recruiters are looking for in a technical interview
what questions they are most likely to ask
and how to answer these questions in the best possible way.

In short, I’m going to teach you how to master your next iOS interview and get that dream job you’re after.

Good Explanation. All concepts are well explained with examples. Finally I can say it's perfect to brush-up your technical skills for interviews.

In trying to make the course short duration, author has tried to reduce explanation. Need to be more clear in explaining and **give more examples** and diagrams

It is a good resource and covers many questions I have heard when an interviewer has interviewed me. I am definitely going to memorize all these questions and use this as a refresher just before I take an interview. I wish I had found this course before I did all the interviews I have done.

It’s a great overview. Quick and easy to listen to. I gave it 4 stars because I wish there were some more examples. I’m a visual learner so seeing some more code snippets would be great. Nice job!

Concise video with excellent example interview questions. Helpful for a quick check to identify areas where further study is needed. Instructor gives really a really comprehensive answer to each question, to easily allow the student to double-check understanding. Course is well planned, very well focused, and gives a very quick and broad overview of what is involved in iOS programming. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

I took this course with a lot of interest. Claudio is very clear and prepared. His advice helped me understand how to approach a job interview and I am sure it will be useful in the future.

Excellent material for both sides of an interview, impossible to cover every possible question on an interview but the most common or most important are definitely here
