I did the Stanford iOS course and the Big Nerd ranch books for 2 months, before I got hired at a startup doing iOS. Biggest challenge was getting stuck and not having someone in person to show me the way.

Thanks. You didn't have any programming experience before starting with the Stanford course? If yes then that's pretty impressive. I understand, to some extent, the frustration around getting stuck and not having any guidance. Do you think the job market for iOS developers is still pretty hot or has stagnated now?

I had a little. Too a few classes in college but felt like I was learning things over again.

Job market for iOS is still strong, and will be for a long time. But on top of that, job market for programmers is strong and once you can program, it is easy to branch out.
