in January i gave an introductory to iPhone Development seminar at Tekserve in NYC. These are the slides from that talk. Enjoy.

I'm frequently asked about resources and tutorials for learning to develop applications for the iPhone. There are a lot of books and tutorials out there. I've put together this list of some of the ones I use and recommend. Enjoy.

First up, definitely check out these four iPhone specific references from Apple's iPhone Developer Center

• iPhone Application Programming Guide
• iPhone Development Guide
• iPhone Human Interface Guidelines
• Your First iPhone Application

You'll spend a lot of time in Xcode and Interface Builder (IB) so also check these out.

• A Tour of Xcode
• Interface Builder User Guide

9am-5pm on Friday February 19th, 2010 in NYC

Want to improve your Cocoa Touch (iPhone and iPod) programming knowledge? Have questions about how to best use the tools (Interface Builder, Xcode, etc.)?

Get an overview of the iPhone SDK as quickly as possible by immersing yourself in our intensive one day iPhone development class. Let us guide you through the common pitfalls and road blocks and get you on the right track.

If you are thinking about learning more about iPhone programming you may want to sign up soon. The earlybird price ends on Friday.

If you have any questions let me know.

I'm teaching a two-day work shop for the iPhone Intensive meet up group at Plug and Play Tech Center, Sunnyvale, June 5th and 6th, 10 am - 6 pm. Register for the workshop at http://iphoneintensive.eventbrite.com.

Build iPhone applications under experienced instructors with lectures, course materials and exercises in a hands-on setting. Join a small group to learn the fundamentals of iPhone development. Ramp-up your skills and learn how to get your apps onto the iPhone App Store.The training program includes continental breakfast, lunch, snacks and refreshments along with ample networking opportunities.

On the first day you will build a complete application from start to finish. At the end of the day you will have created an application similar to popular applications in the app store and will have learned about:

• Xcode, Interface Builder, Objective-C
• Cocoa Touch, and (MVC) Model, View, Controller and Delegate patterns
• iPhone tables and playing media
• Using web content
• Photos and touch event handling
• Timers and animation

The second day you will learn more advanced development methods using the Cocoa Touch framework. Topics will include:

• Custom table cells
• Custom views
• Core Animation
• Multi-touch events
• Timers and threads
• Memory management and finding leaks
• Debugging and tracking down errors

Register for the workshop at http://iphoneintensive.eventbrite.com.

On Saturday January 17, 2009 1:30pm - 3:30 pm. I'm leading a free iPhone development workshop focusing on UITableView and related classes at Tekserve in NYC.

The workshop is aimed at new developers and anyone interested in getting oriented to iPhone development.

We only have a few hours but we will cover as much information as possible and afterward you will have a clear understanding of the process and what is involved in developing table based applications for the iPhone and iPod touch.

If you are interested in attending please sign up through The meetup group or through this website E-String so that we can keep you informed of any changes. Attendance is limited due to space restrictions at Tekserve.

If you know of anyone who could benefit please pass this information along.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Thanks.
