- "Great course on intro iOS development from Steve. He has the rare combination of serious technical chops while also having the ability to break down complex processes into simple steps for beginners. He also does a good job keeping the material interesting over several hours of class. Highly recommend his course for folks wanting to get started in iOS dev."
- "Steve is an excellent instructor, he had well prepared material and provides clear explanations. I would definitely take another course from Steve again!"
- "Steady increase in difficulty throughout the course, good explanations, great presentation."
- "Steve is a great teacher. He is very clear and uses great examples that allowed me, as a beginner, to really understand the fundamental concepts of developing an iOS app. To be a great iOS developer, it takes a lot of time and effort, but starting is the hardest part and Steve made that feel like a breeze. The best part was that in his four hour intro class, we built 3 apps! I'm one who learns by doing and his class was a fantastic balance between theory and implementation."
