He also has a Youtube Channel named “AnyoneCan Code” where he teaches a basic guide about xCode and how to make apps and
games. What’s most amazing thing is, while he was on 20 hour journey to San Fransisco
for the conference, Yuma created an app that that could easily calculate sales
tax of a product that they are thinking of buying.
