I created quickly that iOS app to try the awesome API of face.com. The result is pretty funny.

You made an iOS app in a weekend?? I've never made one, but would love to learn. How long did it take you to get to this speed?
MartinMoi
Yes: the iOS app and the server side in a weekend (and one day actually).

I'm doing mobile app development for now 2 years (and other programming stuff for 5 years) so I guess that I managed to do it in a weekend thanks to my experience.

The painting you use as an example is Le Désespéré by Courbet. It means the desperate, not "the surprised". Why did you choose this painting as an example?
MartinMoi
I was waiting for that question :) I would say that he is desperately surprised!

Haha, pretty funny, faster then I expected it to be as well. I think starting with the forward facing camera (or remembering the preference) would be a good improvement though.

What resources did you use to teach yourself this?

MartinMoi
I didn't use any particular resource, I'm teaching myself mobile dev for 2 years now, so, so far I've been reading a lot of things across the web.
