Workshop: "Write your first iPhone App"

Track: TRAINING: NEW AND DIFFERENT / Time: Sunday 09:00 - 12:00 / Location: Trifork 3

The iPhone OS platform and the App Store have been opening new horizons and creating new business opportunities for the last 2 years. They also are an interesting platform for software developers to create new and innovative solutions using proven languages and frameworks.

In this training you will learn how to use Xcode and Interface Builder to create a simple iPhone application from scratch. Adrian will guide you step by step, showing you how to integrate design and behaviour to achieve a usable and complete small application.
 
Keywords: iPhone, Objective-C, SDK, iPad, mobile.

Target Audience: Software developers with any programming background, interested in creating iPhone and iPad applications using Apple's tools and SDKs.

Participants to this training session must bring their own Mac, and should have Mac OS X "Snow Leopard" with the latest iOS SDK (already installed) from Apple (version 4.1) with Xcode 3.2.4 preinstalled.  

Very important, it must *not* be Xcode 4, it must be Xcode 3.2.4 and iOS 4.1. Xcode 4 is still in beta, it has lots of bugs, and it has not yet been released for public use, but is available for beta testers in the same page where the official latest 4.1 + 3.2.4 is available
