| Full Event Description | Beginning iPhone Class for Commuters The first two days of the course are devoted to learning Objective-C with Mark Fenoglio or Brian Hardy, followed by our five-day iPhone Bootcamp with Scott Ritchie or Joe Conway. In 7 challenging days, these courses will take you from complete novice to being an iPhone developer. If you want to write applications that run on the iPhone, you should attend the iPhone Bootcamp. After a brief introduction to the Objective-C language and the Foundation framework, we delve into the toolchain and the classes that make up the iPhone UI framework. We deal with drawing using Core Graphics, Core Animation, and OpenGL. We also discuss issues in the multi-touch event handling. We can teach this course at your company site. We have taught it for Cisco, AT+T, SAS, and other smaller companies.
