Teach Yourself Computer Science

If you’re a self-taught engineer or bootcamp grad, you owe it to yourself to learn computer science. Thankfully, you can give yourself a world-class CS education without investing years and a small fortune in a degree program 💸.

There are plenty of resources out there, but some are better than others. You don’t need yet another “200+ Free Online Courses” listicle. You need answers to these questions:

• Which subjects should you learn, and why?
• What is the best book or video lecture series for each subject?

This guide is our attempt to definitively answer these questions.

extension UIView {
    // Using a function since `var image` might conflict with an existing variable
    // (like on `UIImageView`)

            let renderer = UIGraphicsImageRenderer(bounds: bounds)
            return renderer.image { rendererContext in
                layer.render(in: rendererContext.cgContext)

Teach Yourself Programming in Ten Years

Peter Norvig

Why is everyone in such a rush?

Walk into any bookstore, and you'll see how to Teach Yourself Java in 24 Hours alongside endless variations offering to teach C, SQL, Ruby, Algorithms, and so on in a few days or hours. The Amazon advanced search for [title: teach, yourself, hours, since: 2000 and found 512 such books. Of the top ten, nine are programming books (the other is about bookkeeping). Similar results come from replacing "teach yourself" with "learn" or "hours" with "days."

The conclusion is that either people are in a big rush to learn about progra

How I Interview

A student recently asked for iOS interview tips. I’ve interviewed hundreds of candidates, and whiteboard coding only makes up a small part of my interview. Some of our best hires came with virtually no iOS background. Based on what I look for, I’ve settled on this format.

Your Current Project

I warm up with, “Anything cool you’ve been working on lately?”

These questions provide context. If you’re coming from games, I won’t ask about REST APIs. If you’ve been working on Android, I’ll keep my questions platform agnostic.

Your Hardest Problem

What’s the hardest technical challenged you’ve encountered? How did you go about solving it? I guess this is a behavioral question. Recruiters love them because, supposedly, past patterns are the best predictor of future performance.
