Self taught iOS and Android app developer. AMA

[sol369]

Hey everyone!

I've been lurking on this forum and have found a lot of good information that helped me with getting clients on upwork especially. I thought that it was time to introduce myself and answer any questions any of you had about building apps / teaching yourself how to build apps / freelance app developer on upwork / etc.

About Me
- Self taught iOS and Android Developer
- 23 years old
- Been building apps for the past 3-4 years
- Taught myself how to build apps after I had an app idea but no money to pay someone to build it for me lol. (Actually I did pay a couple of people on upwork to build it for me but since I was a broke college student, I couldn't pay them a lot so as you expect the app turned out like crap. Wasn't anything like I wanted so after going through this 3 times, I decided it was time to learn how to build apps myself.)

Anyways ask away
