Event Details
If you want to develop apps on the iphone you need this intensive workshop. Don't try this on your own, unless you have a couple of months to spare ” —Craeg K Strong - lead developer, Arielpartners.com
The opportunities for iPhone applications developers has never been better. Apple has paid out over 5 billion dollars to developers with App in the iPhone app store. iPhone developers' work-for-hire is the highest paid in the software industry.
The iPhone Boot Camps are arguably the most affordable and experienced iPhone application development workshops. Our rates are often half the price of other workshops and our trainers the most experienced in the field, with apps in the top ten in the iPhone store and/or authors of popular books on iPhone development.
Since 2008 we have trained over 1,000 developers in over sixty workshops in the United States, Canada, Australia and the UK . The training range from on-site training sessions for Fortune 500 companies such as IBM, General Motors, Bank of America and 3 and 6 day intensive workshops for developers from companies and independent software developers.
We are the only iPhone training to offer advanced workshops and a full money back guarantee after the first day of the workshop if you are not completely satisfied with the training - no questions asked. Keep in mind that if you do not have a basic understanding of Object Oriented Programming (OOP) the workshop will be extremely challenging.
We specialize only in iPhone application development training. No other iPhone workshop has trained as many developers and we've learned a great deal from all our training sessions. Our workshop use proven course materials developed and tested over time and we teach the latest versions of the SDK/Xcode - currently IOS 6. The workshops are all small workshops with one-on-one hands on instruction under the supervision of the trainer.
At the conclusion of the workshop we offer an industry recognized certificate and membership in our vast network of iPhone Boot Camp alumni to further advance your career in iPhone development, including job postings from our alumni and other companies. Frequently after the workshops developers follow up their training with the trainers and partner on developing apps and if we have space available in our other workshops we offer you the opportunity to take the workshop over at no additional cost.
Our mission is to train you to develop iPhone apps on your own and most developers are able to so after completing the training. In fact iPhone Boot Camp alumni now have apps in the top ten in the Apple store with millions of downloads.
What you will learn?
Note: This is a general syllabus. Not every feature mentioned will be covered in every workshop. Topics may vary from workshop to workshop and the final syllabus is customized by the individual trainer and by the interests of the developers attending the individual workshops.
What you will learn?
Syllabus
Note: Some features listed below may not be covered. The actual workshop depends on the current state of the art in the SDK and the interests of the students in the workshop.
Developing Applications Using the iOS 6 SDK
Course Format: Lecture and hands on lab.
Prerequisites: Some programming object-oriented programming experience using some variant of the C language (such as C++, C#, or maybe even Objective-C). Familiarity with the iPhone itself and Apple’s included applications to get a good working sense of the iPhone look and feel. It would also help to browse the App Store and download and become familiar with (if applicable) the kinds of applications the student is considering developing.
Hardware and software requirements: An Intel-based Macintosh computer (MacBook Pro 15 inch laptops are a popular choice but any of the latest Macintoshes will do) with the either Mac OS X 10.7 or 10.8 (preferred) and Xcode 4.5 installed.

What should I bring with me?
- An Intel Macintosh laptop computer
- Latest version of XCode and the iPhone SDK installed on your Macintosh laptop
- An iPhone or iPod Touch, if you have one (optional)
- Basic programming knowledge, including object-oriented programming experience, such as Java,, NET, C, Visual Studio
Why take a workshop when I can read books, attend a lecture watch videos and webinars?
Most people, even those with extensive experience in programming, find the SDK difficult to master. Books and video are great to prepare for a workshop but there is still no substitute for a small hands on workshop with other developer, where you can ask questions to an experienced instructor looking over your shoulder as you go through the episodes step by step. Basically it saves you month of time and money.
