iOS(iPhone/iPad)
now teaching iOS 5
If you want to write applications that run on the iPhone and iPad, you should attend the iOS Bootcamp. After a brief introduction to the Objective-C language and the Foundation framework, we delve into the toolchain and the classes that make up the iPhone UI framework. We deal with drawing using Core Graphics and Core Animation. We also discuss issues in the multi-touch event handling.
We can teach this course at your company site. We have taught it for Cisco, AT+T, SAS, and other smaller companies.
What You’ll Learn
Upon completion of iOS (iPhone/iPad), the student will be able to:
