iPhone Applications Development with the SDK 3.0


The six and three day intensive workshop from 10am-6pm covers the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough material that 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 and teaching assistant.


The first three days of the Master Class covers Objc-C and is taught by Steve Kochan, author of Programming in Objective C - 2.0


The next three days of the Master Class covers the SDK 3.2 and is taught by a member of our training staff.


Developers may register for all six days, one of the three day master classes or any one of day of the six day master class if they need training on a specific knowledge of Obj-c or the SDK that is scheduled for that day.


Programming in Objective-C 2.0


DAY 1 - Language Fundamentals

  1. •Understand principles of Object Oriented Programming )OOP): classes, objects, instances, and methods 

  2. •Write and debug programs in Objective-C using Xcode 

  3. •Understand data types and how to write expressions 

  4. •Use basic control constructs for looping and making decisions 

  5. •Define classes and write instance and class methods 

  6. •Use properties, synthesized accessor methods, and the dot operator

  7. •Pass and return objects to methods

  8. •Understand the self and super keywords and their use

  9. •Understand inheritance 


DAY 2 - Language Fundamentals (continued)

  1. •Learn more about variables and scope

  2. •Write initialization methods

  3. •Learn how to add a category to a class

  4. •Learn about protocols and conformance

  5. •Take advantage of polymorphism and dynamic typing 

  6. •Work with the preprocessor 

  7. •Understand underlying C language features such as arrays, functions, structures, and pointers

  8. •Use enumerated data types and typedef


DAY 3 - The Foundation Framework and Introduction to iPhone Programming

  1. •Use the basic Foundation classes to work with numbers and strings

  2. •Work with Foundation collections: arrays, dictionaries, and sets in your program

  3. •Use fast enumeration on collections

  4. •Copy and archive objects 

  5. •Manage memory, understand retain counts, and use the autorelease pool to avoid memory leaks 

  6. •Introduction to the iPhone SDK

  7. •Develop your first iPhone application using the iPhone simulator

  8. •Understand IBOutlet and IBAction and use Interface Builder to design a UI and make the connections

  9. •Use what you've learned to write an iPhone fraction calculator application
