Fwd: guess which engineer earns $110,000 on average per year...

When I was looking for full-time jobs a few months ago, one thing shocked me more than anything: the amount of job listings looking for iOS developers/engineers.

(Don't believe me? Here's one. Here's another. And another.)

And according to Glassdoor, an iOS engineer in the US makes on average $110,000 per year.

(By the way, a software engineer in the US earns $95,195 on average.)

Now, I'm not telling you to ditch everything you're doing in life—all your hopes, dreams, and goals—to pursue iOS development.

Far from it.

What I am saying is that if you've had thoughts about learning how to build iOS apps, a feeling that it may be something you'd like...you should definitely consider pursuing it.

Because here's the good news:

Now till August 3 Udemy is offering a special 50% off discount on TWO brand new iOS 10 courses:

  1. The Complete iOS 10 Developer Course - Build 21 Apps by Rob Percival
  2. iOS 10 and Swift 3: From Beginner to Paid Professional by Mark Price
In Rob's course, he'll take you from zero to hero by teaching you how to build your own clones of uber-successful apps that are on the market today - like Instagram and Snapchat.

On the other hand, Mark's course will take you through the most important things you need to know as an iOS developer, based on what clients are looking for and what the most in-demand skills are.

Despite being brand new, both courses already have stellar reviews and high ratings.

And here's the great thing about Udemy courses: you own them for life! Pay once, get access forever.

But this deal won't last long! You can get both for 50% off now till August 3. Yikes - that's less than two days from today!

So, if you've thought about learning how to build iOS apps (or maybe you KNOW you want to) definitely check out these courses. Or some of the other iOS courses Udemy has to offer.

Take care, and have an awesome start to the week,

Laurence


P.S. I never, ever, EVER want you to buy a course that you don't feel like you need to help achieve your goals. I truly think iOS development is ~awesome~ and want to encourage anyone who's thinking about it to do it - because it's an in-demand skill to have!

Fwd: options for app developers (web, desktop, mobile or cross-platform)

Hey, If you're diving into app development for the first time, it can be difficult to know which platform you should be writing for. This week's sponsored post is from Geoff Perlman of Xojo. In it, he lays out the pros and cons of each platform, and lets you in on how to develop for all of them at once. Click here to read the full sponsored post. Here are the main takeaways: Desktop Apps - These normally provide the richest (and fastest) user experience, but they're not great for apps that people want to use immediately. Web Apps - These solve the problem of users wanting to use the app immediately, but they're at the mercy of your users' Internet speed. Mobile Apps - Fast, responsive, easy to install... but there's not a lot of screen space to work with. That means mobile apps are best suited to "dashboard-type" apps that display the status of something without being super interactive. Cross-Platform Development - Cross-platfor...

Fwd: 4 ways to fast-track your success

Recently I've been hearing from a lot of LTCWM readers who want to know how to speed up their progress. Some of you have been job hunting and want to know how to get your foot in the door sooner rather than later.

Of course, there's no substitute for putting in the work, but there are a few ways to fast-track your progress. Here are some of the approaches that we've been talking about on the podcast recently... 1. Learn to negotiate. If you're applying for jobs, one way to get ahead is by negotiating a higher wage.
