Origin Stories #22 - Zack Falgout - Fireside Swift & iOS Dev @ FlightAware

In this episode of Origin Stories I speak with Zack Falgout, iOS developer and co-host of the Fireside Swift podcast. We get to hear how he "took the long road" to iOS development. By that he means he started off on a completely different career path and then switched to software development later in life. Those types of stories are always near and dear to my heart. We also get a BONUS origin story by hearing about the inception of the Fireside Swift podcast. Hope you enjoy!

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.
