Learn the fundamentals of iPhone programming quickly and easily without the fluff.

Your classes helped me so much, more than just teaching me different classes frameworks, but rather teaching me how to learn on my own, and understand Objective C as a whole. - Andrew C., NYC

Is this for me?

Remember, there is a guarantee so its hard to go wrong. But why not take a few minutes and review these two videos to get a feeling for my teaching style.

  1. Quick Intro to Xcode 4
  2. Intro to iOS Development

This course assumes you have some programming experience in a C like language and are familiar with basic OOP concepts. If you've never programmed before you might like to first start with some basic programming resources such as:

  1. Learn Python The Hard Way - We don’t program iOS in Python but the concepts in this free book are applicable to any language.
  2. Learning Objective-C: A Primer
  3. Programming in Objective-C 2.0
