It looks like it's a long running project. From their announcement post[1]:

"This first release is Chapter 1. We intend to release a new chapter approximately every 6 to 8 weeks."

How are you passing messages between people?

No problem. Feel free to find me at any of these or on that slack chat.

I'm glad that you are getting excited about iOS development. I've been developing part time while I go to school. I'll be starting my second internship in about a month so I can't really offer to let you shadow me, but I can give you some advice on where to find people that can help. I actually attend several iOS meetups in Manhattan every month.

I think the best one for you to start really diving into iOS would be iOS Side Projects [1]. We meet about twice a month and have some really smart devs help out. We also have a slack chat that is full of people excited to help people out [2].

Additionally there's the New York iOS Developers meetup that happens monthly [3]. And then my personal favorite is iOSoho which is monthly and much more selective [4]. These two meetups are a lot more advance than side projects, often with talks about more technical and specific parts of the job.

I've met a lot of really great people at these events and really encourage you to try and make it out to some of them. As I said earlier, I'm not in a position to let you shadow me, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on twitter: @MichaelSelsky. Good luck in your endeavors.
