Overview

Too big for a DriveBy, but very much in the same spirit, this workshop will cover several topics to help get you up to speed with the iPhone development workflow. The goal is for you to come away with a working development environment on your system and to get a demonstration application running in the iPhone Simulator. The workshop will be led by Robert Carlsen, Bruno Kruse, Martin Ceperley (and more special guests?).

Some potential topics:

  • Objective C language & syntax basics
  • Model View Controller basics
  • Linking interface builder w/ code
  • Integrating with a server API
  • Mapping with MapKit
  • UI or UX design and Interface builder
  • Apple user interface guidelines
  • Multi-touch and gesture based interactions
  • Using openFrameworks for iPhone development

I know that there are alternate frameworks for developing iPhone applications with HTML, CSS, JavaScript such as PhoneGap or Appcelerator Titanium Mobile. If anyone is interested in learning more about them (and more importantly, does anyone want to run a session on them) then speak up!

Requirements

In order to have a productive experience at the workshop, you should bring an Intel-based computer running OS X and have already installed the Apple Developer Tools and iPhone SDK. The SDK is a large download and would take up a bunch of time to install during the workshop.
