Yeah, I can't imagine why someone would want to write stuff that looks like this. http://winterbe.com/posts/2014/07/31/java8-stream-tutorial-e...

the beauty of Java

Did you learn to program in school or teach yourself? School, I had a few credits to fill out my Econ degree and thought the CS intro classes would be interesting.

Did you do unpaid work to establish yourself? Nope, but I did work for pennies. $11.50/hr writing code at my first job, and then later $1000 for an Android app with another $500 to port it to IOs.

Roughly how long did it take you from day 1 of learning to day 1 of being paid? Six months.

What was your first gig? Working on campus making Salesforce magic happen. I graduated recently and now work as a Salesforce/Java/web-backend developer.

As idealized as being self-taught might be I think there's a lot of value in getting your base knowledge in the classroom. Data Structures and Algorithms especially is a great course to learn with a professional as a resource.

I'm porting an Android app to iOS with no prior knowledge of Obj-C. It's a load capacity calculator for yarders used in the logging industry.

Dealing with the differences between Java/Android and Obj-C/iOS has been both interesting and frustrating at times.

I have an Android project in "the second 90%" that you can check out here, excuse the mess while I refactor some stuff. https://github.com/Brabon/MACSv1.0
