Hi Daniel! Yes I have, before doing iOS Development, I started my carear as full-stack web developer. Working mainly with PHP Yii2 And HTML, JS and CSS. Even today I do some web related projects, but more personal projects, where I play with react and other more modern technologies. Then I transacted to a Full-Stack iOS Developer, so not only I was developing the iOS clients, I was also developing the REST API’s. For the the REST API’s, I was working with Elixir Phoenix and PostgresSQL. Right now, my current job is doing only iOS, since it is big company, and it is more difficult to switch context in this types of companies, since there is enough resources for each part of the application. About the job opportunities I have a lot of them in LinkedIn, I don’t even have to search for them. At least in Portugal, there is not many iOS Developers, so even if there is more jobs in web, there is also more competition in the web than in Mobile Native Development. Doing Mobile Native development and Functional Progamming in the Backend was very important for me, since it leveled up my General Software Skills and Code Quality. Basically swift teaches you how to write safe and clean code :)
Have you worked as Dev with other languages more than Swift and iOS 'Native'?
If so, have you find more job for Swift than others languages?
