I consider myself to be a "Padawan" Cocoa programmer who is mostly self-taught. Programming is a serious hobby that I pursue outside my "day job". I dabble a bit in Python, and know a bit about PostgreSQL and Django.
I'm fond of named parameters, descriptive variable and method names, the static analyzer, "Clean Code" by Robert C. Martin, anything by the Big Nerd Ranch, iDeveloper.tv, Core Intuition and others.
I've been enjoying messing with the Swift language since launch.
