Course Description

  
This four day course explores the language, tools, and libraries required to build "native" iPhone/iPad applications with iOS 7. Assuming no prior iOS development experience, this course starts at the beginning of the development process, identifying what is needed to obtain the iOS SDK and continuing with a thorough exploration of Objective-C, the native programming language for iOS. After all of the necessary foundations are established, the iOS 7 SDK and its related development tools are introduced, providing a detailed examination of views, controls, view controllers, and the event based lifecycle they participate in. Throughout the course, concepts are reinforced through "hands-on" lab exercises. The culmination of these exercises result in an iPhone / iPad app that is intended to be used by attendees of a software development seminar (including a "master-detail" schedule of sessions, attendee notes, map / directions to the venue location, and display of a live website).
Course Length: 4 Days
Course Tuition: $2490 (US)

Prerequisites
Strong development experience in any Object Oriented programming language. Students should feel very comfortable with concepts such as Inheritance and Polymorphism.
