Does anybody have a recommendation of a good way to learn the same material for someone who's motivated but unemployed and dead broke?

Hey, I've been learning iOS dev on my own since the beginning of the year, try these:

-Stanford's Developing iOS Apps Course (free on iTunes U)

-developer.apple.com (unpaid account), gives you access to plenty of code examples to learn from and programming guides

-check out raywenderlich.com, objc.io, nshipster.com to name a few

-stackoverflow

-youtube(!)

-and if you can gather a few bucks, I'd recommend Big Nerd Ranch guide for Objective-C and the iOS programming version too

-IRC

Good luck!

The Big Nerd Ranch books are fantastic. Definitely check them out. I know they'll get something out for Swift sometime soon, but the iOS programming one would be a great foundation even with Objective-C as the sample code.

Some of the bootcamps will do financing. I'm against financing things that depreciate, but if you can get a decent job out of, it's not a terrible option.
