Origin Stories #16 - Chris Ching - iOS YouTuber - Code With Chris

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with fellow YouTube, Chris Ching of Code With Chris to discuss how he got his start into programming. We get to hear the story of how he was introduced to programming as a teenager and then went on to university to study Computer Science leading to his first job. We also get to hear the origin story of his YouTube channel with 200k subscribers and how he decided to go full-time content creation.

Origin Stories is a series of interviews with iOS developers from the community where we discuss how they got their start in this industry. We discuss how they first became interested in code, what resources they used to learn, how they got their first job and much more.
