Now Offering iPhone™ SDK Training

Tagged:  

I am very pleased to announce iPhone SDK development training in conjunction with Intrinsic Development and About Objects.

The first course is scheduled for Dec 10-12 in Reading, UK and we are working on scheduling more courses in various cities. Let us know if you want one near you.

The course focuses on the essentials of Objective-C and Cocoa Touch. Learn the tools, the libraries, the concepts, and the best ways to get things done, with plenty of hands-on exercises to reinforce it all. Topics include:

  • Cocoa Touch Design Patterns: Accelerate your learning by discovering how Apple leverages Model-View-Controller and other key design patterns.
  • Work with Table Views: Create data source and delegate methods to present and manage your application's data in table views.
  • Manage Navigation: Learn to use Apple's navigation controller, tab bar controller, and other UIKit view components to implement navigation in your app.
  • Handle Multi-Touch Gestures: Manage standard UI controls and custom components correctly in response to user input.
  • Custom Drawing: Learn to use Core Graphics and Core Animation to customize UI components, display and manipulate images, and provide rich animation for graphical elements.
  • Persist Application Data and UI State: Discover easy and efficient techniques for storing and retrieving information.
  • System Events: You'll learn how to take advantage of the iPhone's built- in accelerometers and other system resources for accessing system events.
  • Memory Management: Learn how to manage memory using retain counts and autorelease pools, while avoiding common pitfalls.
  • Integrate with Core Services: Integrate your application with Address Book, Maps, Safari, Mail, and other iPhone apps and services.
  • Design for Modularity: Take advantage of dynamic loading to reduce complexity, improve performance, and ease maintenance.
  • Performance Monitoring and Debugging: Use Apple's Instruments utility and the GNU debugger (gdb) to isolate and fix problems and to eliminate hot spots and memory leaks.

Hope to see you there.
