If you love our book series, you're going to love this class. Our students tell us this is hands down the best training they have ever taken! This five day workshop, is specifically designed for absolute beginners. It teaches you the skills you need to create great Apps for the iPhone and iPad, using the latest tools from Apple!
At the end of the class both your voice and your spirits were just as high as they were at the beginning ... and in my experience, that's a rare occurence! The content was excellent, with a blend of theory (reasons for a specific approach), real-world examples, and tips (for what works, and what not to do). - Mark Dean
We encourage students to bring the Apps they are working on to class. There is specific information we always cover in each class, but we find that learning about iOS technologies in the context of real-world Apps is the best way to understand how these features work, and how they can be used in your own Apps.
