Mobile Orchard Workshops: iPhone Development For Web Programmers, A Two Day Training Class
About The Class
Designed for Java, .NET, Ruby, Python and advanced PHP programmers, this class packs a punch:
In only two days, I’ll teach you what you need to know to build polished, ready-to-ship non-game iPhone 3.X SDK applications. What’s more, you’ll learn the patterns used throughout the SDK so you’ll be able to continue learning on your own after the class has ended.
No prior iPhone, Mac, Objective-C or Cocoa development experience required. Professional web programmers with object oriented experience will do great. C programmers too. You will need to bring your own Mac to the class.
Get productive fast: before you leave on the first day, you’ll create apps that incorporate Core Location, shake/motion and in-app email.
By the end of the class, you’ll build table and navigation style apps (e.g., Apple’s Mail and Contacts app) that use Core Data for persistent data storage, hybrid web/native apps, apps that consume web service APIs, apps with shake-to-undo/redo and more.
The class mixes practical project examples with Objective-C and Cocoa-Touch fundamentals like memory management, protocols and delegates, properties and categories.
Small class size, individual attention, experienced instructor.
