Atlanta, GA - May 12, 2008 - iNeed iPhone at the Big Nerd Ranch: iPhone Bootcamp Sept. 8-12, 2008
Ask and ye shall receive.
Ever since Steve Jobs originally announced the iPhone, developers have let their imaginations run free with ideas to create applications that could be run on this small platform. Those ideas have mostly been held at bay as developers have waited for Apple to release the iPhone with the associated software development kit.
This March, the wait ended.
In response, Big Nerd Ranch, Inc. announces the introduction of a revolutionary new iPhone training class, iPhone Bootcamp. The bootcamp, which features instructor Joe Conway, provides the cutting-edge, excellence in instruction for which the Big Nerd Ranch is known, and a legitimate source for iPhone and iPod touch application development for a spectrum of developers.
Aaron Hillegass, Big Nerd Ranch founder, said, "After seven years of teaching engineers how to develop Cocoa applications for the Mac, Big Nerd Ranch is uniquely qualified to offer the first class on how to develop Cocoa Touch applications for iPhone."
Students attending the class should know how to program in C and at least one object-oriented language. The class begins with an overview of Objective-C and the Foundation framework, then goes deep on the classes and toolchain that comprise the iPhone UI framework.
The class also includes:
- Using Xcode and the Aspen Simulator
- Drawing with Quartz and OpenGL
- Handling multi-touch events
- Accessing the camera and using the Image Picker
- Integrating the Address Book, Calendar, and Sounds into your applications
- Storing data with SQLite

The Big Nerd Ranch incorporates intensive training classes for Unix and Mac OS X programmers in a retreat setting outside Atlanta, GA. Class price of $3500 includes lodging, all meals, original instruction materials, 24-hour lab access, and transportation to and from the Atlanta airport. Students are encouraged to bring independent projects to class, allowing for input from classmates and individual instructor attention.
