The year 2013. After a conference at my university, I came to the speaker and we had next short talk:

Me: I want to develop games and I want to work with you, are you looking for Junior developers? I have never worked with iOS/Mac, but I am good enough as a developer.

Good Guy: Okay, read those books and come to the interview:

  • The Objective-C Programming Language (2009-10-19)
  • iPhone SDK Programming - A beginner's guide (James A. Brannan)

I read them in 3 days. As a result after the interview, I worked with that guy for 9 months as the iOS developer, it was a great time. :)
