Started learning Java 7 years ago. Here's my progress as a coder/entrepreneur in 7 minutes (video).
When I picked up my first programming book (Head First Java) 7 years ago so I could make Android apps, I had trouble wrapping my head around for loops. I've come a long way since then, and ended up getting a CS degree, making some profitable side projects, and raising money for my startup. Recently started a YouTube channel and thought it would be fun to make a compilation of all my (mostly failed) projects from my first app to my current startup, to show the less glamorous side of software startups.
Hope you guys like it! https://youtu.be/vEvXWUUTzqU

What was the transition from Android development to having your game on iOS as well? Do the two go hand in hand, as in did you re-code the game on XCode, or did you create it on a cross-platform, or just port it? Enjoyed the video though, quite the journey.

I used Corona SDK when I started making games, and then later switched to Unity, so I never had to do much to port my games.

Any tips to where and how to start for building indie games?

Just go with Unity, it's the standard now, there are tons of tutorials and C# is very similar to Java.

Very good video, already subscribed.
But, I feel like it was a bit clickbaity in the sense that you made it sound like you are going to talk about Java and your journey learning those things. Lovely video though, whoever shot and edited the video did a good job.
