^what ben said, though I would tweak the "GitHub full of Ruby/Python/Javascript". This is certainly great advice, but I think the most "to the point" way of communicating your skills is showing projects you've completed. Ideally mobile apps, which means you should add some Objective-C/Java to that list. These days good mobile devs are fewer than those who know the common web/javascript stacks (which are still important). Overall — just make sure to show your future employer that you can "take it to the hole" and actually ship/create/finish a project. thats where the money is. Can you deliver? Or are you just another guy chasing APIs and buzzwords hoping to wear a hoodie and flip flops and be a snarky programmer? (haha I'm sure that's not you!) |

I am new to the development community in most ways and have only recently learned that GitHub is important in demonstrating experience. (although pretty obvious when put in that light...)
I have worked on a project that I started, designed, developed and shipped (well, it was deployed in-house at the company I worked). Actually the whole thing is kind of a crazy story but I won't bore you with it here. Important thing is that I hadn't really thought about it and can't say for certain I would have brought it up, your notes will ensure I do.
And yeah, I definitely need some work in Objective-C, especially if I want to be considered a programmer in closed-toed shoes and a sports jacket...
Side Note:
Realizing that it may be extremely obvious... what is an API chaser?
