Hey, I want to middle school with Caleb!
On a more related note: It's exciting to see others realize how simple and painless Apple has made iOS dev. It still takes logical chops and a keen eye to make something worthwhile, but the bridge between non-developer and developer is getting shorter and shorter.
The new iOS 8 kits will shorten that gap even more.
Still, as a developer myself with some successful projects behind me, I'm a student of thought that the marketplace is becoming so saturated it will only be very high-caliber apps that survive. Or, I guess, developers who can stick out the rough times as well as the good ones. How new developers fit into that landscape is still uncertain.
As I haven't done any Android development, can anyone shed light on how similar the two processes are (iOS dev vs. Android)?
