IPDCTrainingDay


 

iPhone Development Training Day

 

Once again, we're contemplating offering a day of paid training on the Friday (12/18/09) before the upcoming iPhoneDevCamp Colorado. The iPhoneDevCampCO will remain a free event, but there would be a fee for training if it is offered.

 

The syllabus would be determined by the participating teachers, so is still TBA, but it is anticipated it would be similar to courses offered in the past (see below), most likely updated with information about new technologies in iPhone OS 3.0.

 

If you would be interested in attending the paid training, please send an e-mail to ipdc-training@metafy.com and/or paste your name here, or indicate your interest by mentioning it and @iPhoneDevCampCO in the same tweet on Twitter!

 

 

ARCHIVED:

 

New/Special : We have added a day of paid training for iPhone developers on the Friday (2/20) before iPhone Dev Camp Colorado #3. The fee for the day of classes is extremely reasonable, and you can choose to attend the full-day or either of the morning or afternoon sessions.

 

Here is the current syllabus, still tentative, but hopefully this gives you an idea of what we'll be covering and gets people interested in signing up for the paid training. The entire day will be "hands-on" so please arrive prepared to start coding (i.e., you should already have the iPhone SDK and Xcode installed and running):

UPDATE: 2/20/09 - A new version of the device APIs demo bundle is available, with bug fixes.  If you downloaded iPDC-Device-APIs.zip before 3:39PM today, please get another copy.  Or if you prefer, find and fix the bugs yourself as homework.

 

UPDATE: 2/20/09 - iPDC  Training Day underway for a FULL HOUSE!
