Unit Tests are becoming more popular in iOS as the Rails community strengthens and influences other developers, but I agree there are some aspects in which integration tests using something like KIF can be far more valuable in making sure that the code is working as intended.

Absolutely! We start at the very beginning with showing you how to setup your computer through (iosinstall.com) and then go on to build 2 applications including a calculator. After that we will be building real world popular applications in an easy to follow video tutorial format! I was in your shoes 2 years ago and the best way to start is to jump in headfirst and just go for it, and this is a great starting point.

Best,

John

Hey Ryan,

Our beta launch was going to be for 100 users and I did not expect it to get on the first page of HN and be closed out so quickly. Feel free to PM me at [email protected] and I can help you sign up.

Best,

John

Morbius,

I appreciate the feedback. I am currently launching this as a beta which is why it is free to begin with. I have amended the line that you didn't like and the feedback loop is extremely important as this will be a highly iterative process.

This is just the beginning and more features will be built every day, but I would rather get feedback sooner rather than later on how I can make it a better process for students in the future.

Thank you,

John
