My name is Kirby Turner. I'm an independent software developer and business owner focusing on Mac and iOS programming. I've been programming since the early 1980s. I sell my own apps. I do contract programming when time allows. And I'm writing a book on iPad programming.
In 2007 I made my move from the Microsoft world to the world built by a particularly wonderful fruit company out of Cupertino, California. It didn't take long before I fell in love with Cocoa and Xcode. The developer experience created by Apple makes programming fun for me again, something I hadn't felt since the early days of Delphi.
When I'm not sitting behind the keyboard, I can be found hanging out with my wife Melanie and my son Rowan, hiking the mountains of New England, kayaking the waters in and around Salem, Massachusetts, and snowboarding down a mountain in search of powder.
