Posted on 2012-04-212015-08-13 by Mark Boszko

As I just posted to 43 Things [a site that is sadly now dead — Ed.], I finally shipped my first public iPhone app, so maybe it’s time to look back at this journey and see how it’s gone so far. It seems like there’s always more and better to learn, but I learned enough…
