Kenny is like the cool kid in class who got your back.

The biggest obstacle when applying for a junior dev job can be asking yourself a question: “Do I already know enough to even apply for it?”

You're steadily becoming one of my favorite Mobile Dev YouTubers.
Thanks for the advice man!

[atiquekhan]

I keep coming back to this every goddamn time i feel down and your cool aura just gets me going. Thanks man.

[TomaszRykala]

This lad absolutely nails it. Well done, man!

[thatonesalad]

Thanks for the advice Kenny! I've been researching a lot into app development. This gives me a clear path on how to do it!

Also remember that for Android you pay $25 once, and need to pay annually $100 to get your app listed for iOS even if your app is free.

Guys, this is the guide to the light for me. I'm 31 and just started learning C++ for a couple months and I realized that I really like this kind of brain-blown job. But it is hard for me to find out which path is better for me: Frontend or Mobile. Then this video solves it. Thank you so much!

[elizabethsaethryth]

Thank you sooo much for this video, this helped me soo much! Thank you, Kenny! You give me hope to being a self taught mobile developer :')

[AlbertoRodriguez-oejo]

That was a perfect how-to, now I know my next steps. Thanks <3

You are making my February 23rd 2021 a lot more nice than I thought it would be haha 😂 You know what! I instantly appreciated your videos but honestly I never expected watching all of them one after the other like I apparently am doing right now... You are super charismatic and your style (the style of your videos) is just not what I was expecting for the topics of your videos and man! I feel like that BoGo experience where you get in a store to get something and if you buy one you get another for free!!! I really appreciate your authenticity...

I've been thinking about Mobile Development recently, and I found this video. Thank you so much! Now I know how to start :D

[nivretech]

I am currently a computer engineering student and it is so hard to decide which specialization to go into. For now, I am planning to be a mobile developer. Thank you for a great video!

[SixtySixPonies]

Great video. I've been thinking about getting into this career field after my previous field collapsed due to Coronavirus. Would love to learn and start my own business doing freelance work. Thanks for the great info!

[dhyeydevilsofficial]

So pleased that I found your channel
Great info, personal experiences, tireless uploads, lots of humour and overall great experience.
You lay it all out for us.
Can't thank you enough.
I really fancy a chance so that I can meet you in person and thank you
Lots of love

[matiiaas]

i really don't know how to thank people like you, you just saved us maybe months of work, i hope you at least feel that you have your subscribers back for anything you need Kenny

[wnong]

Thank you Kenny for your vulnerable sharing tips. I hope it is never too late in my middle age to create a new career path. I truly need to continue to learn new skills or else I am not enjoying doing what I am doing right now.

Really one of those rare informative contents, thank you 🙏
