Jeff LaMarche,  co-author of the bestselling books on iPhone and develoment on the Mac Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK and Learn Cocoa on the Mac

The six day Intensive workshop from 10am-6pm,  a full 48 hours of training, covers the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough material that after the workshop you should be able to develop your own iPhone application and upload it to the AppStore. The workshop is limited in size and features hands on exercises under the supervision of the instructor.

Developers have the option to attend the workshop on any of the six days or the entire six day workshop, according to their knowledge level. Both the Objective-C and SDK train developers from the very basics in iPhone development to the most advanced features.

Other Frameworks, C LibrariesFoundation Framework: Core Classes, Memory ManagementUIKit Framework: Infrastructure For Implementing Graphical Event Driven Applications,UIKit Framework: Views & Controls, Controllers, UIApplication,Application Basics: Bootstrapping, Delegation, Windows, Views, Build "Hello World" Application, Adding Behavior - Programming and Design Patterns, Objective C Basics: Classes, Message Syntax, Objective C 2.0: Properties, Dot Notation, Design Patterns: Delegation Design Patterns: Target-Action, Design Patterns: Model-View-Controller

Day 5:  iPhone SDK Intermediate

Expanding User Interface - View Controllers, Navigation, Tab Bars, View Controller Basics, Navigation Controllers, Tab Bar Controllers, Build a Multi-Page ApplicationTable Views, Table View Controllers, Delegation and Data Sources, Custom Table Cells, Build Hierarchical Data Browsing Applications, Data Management, Core Data,  Data Browsing TableView Application, Searching Data with SQLite, SQLite queries, Keystroke-by-keystroke searching, Results presentation, Enhance SQLite Data Browsing TableView Application with Searching

Day 6: iPhone SDK Advanced

Web Services, Fetching data from remote services, Caching data locally in SQLite, Build Image Search TableView Application, Performance and Progress, Display progress and activity for long running tasks, Thread operations to keep UI responsive, Enhance Image Search TableView Application with threading, Animation and Drawing, Use UIView animation to do flips, slides, fades and resizing, Enhance Image Search TableView Application with splash page animation, Use Core Graphics to draw shapes, Build Random Polygon Application 

We are proud of the apps that are student developers have created.
Check out some of their apps in the store after taking the workshop on our alumni page.

About the iPhone Boot Camp

The iPhone Boot camp is the leading training workshop for professional iPhone development. We employ top level developer-trainers to teach iPhone development and related iPhone development tools, such as Cocoa, Objective C and Open GL ES.  To date we have trained in six cities in two countries over 100 developers who have developed dozens of apps in the app store, from indpendent developer to Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, AOL, genentech, SRI, Thomson Reuter, AP, theknot.com, Crate and Barrel, Shure, HBSC,etc.

What should I bring with me?

• An Intel Macintosh laptop computer.
• A limited number of MacBook Pro laptop computers will be available for rental at reasonable rental rates.
• 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
• Familiarity with the Mac

Who should attend?

• Experienced programmers interested in iPhone application development
• People new to Mac development and iPhone development

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 sitll 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.
