In this episode, we do things a little differently. I sit down with Geoff Pado, an app maker and live streamer. This is the edited version of a live stream interview found at https://twitch.tv/compileswift, where we also had a live chatroom during the recording.

Joel had the good fortune to work at Apple when the iPhone was developed. His exposure was writing sample apps against the iPhone SDK, making him among the first people in the world to `#import `. That launched him into the world of iOS development for good. He has since worked on a wide variety of interesting products, launched a startup, worked at several others, and still somehow not gotten tired of San Francisco.

Joel and I discussed Querl, a small library designed to ease working with GraphQL in Swift.

I decided it was time to put out an episode answering a question I often get.

"What do I learn to start coding on Apple platforms and for interviews."

So here is my list of recommendations of topics to get started with when it comes to developing on Apple's platforms and preparing for interviews. This is not exhaustive, but a place to start.
