“If you want to develop apps on the iphone you need this course. Don't try this on your own, unless you have a couple of months to spare ” —Craeg K Strong - lead developer, Arielpartners.com, attended January 2009 Three Day Intensive iPhone Boot Camp in New York
The three day intensive workshop from 10am-6pm - a full 24 hours of training - covers the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough material that after the workshop you should be able to develop your own iPhone application and upload it to the AppStore. The workshop is limited in size and features hands on exercises under the supervision of the instructor.

About the iPhone Boot Camp
The iPhone Boot camp is dedicated to teaching iPhone development and related iPhone development tools, such as Cocoa, Objective C and Open GL ES. It is arguable the largest and longest running iPhone workshop. It has trainings in over twenty cities and to date has taught over 200 developers who now have dozens of apps in the app store, from indpendent developer to company training for IBM, AOL, genentech, SRI, Thomson Reuter, AP, theknot.com and more.
Trainers
Our
instructors are all long time iPhone developers and experienced
trainers with numerous apps in the app store, such as Stephan Kochan,
author ten textbooks on Objective C programing, including the
bestseller "Learning Objective C. Programming" and Jeff LaMarche,
author of the
bestseller "Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the SDK"
London Trainer: Charles Gamble
Charles
Gamble has been a professional software developer for over 13 years,
working for many well-known companies using a variety of development
languages and operating systems.
Charles has a BSc in Computer Science and
has been developing on the iPhone platform since before the official
iPhone SDK first appeared in early 2008.
Under the brand of perculasoft ,
Charles has published his own apps such as SleepOver and EventHorizon
(which was awarded 2nd place in the O2 iPhone App Showdown), and has
also released an open-source project called AppReviews for use by other
iPhone developers.
Charles is an active member of the London
iPhone Developers Group and enjoys helping individuals and companies

What should I bring with me?
- An Intel Macintosh laptop computer
- XCode and the iPhone SDK installed on your Macintosh laptop
- An iPhone or iPod Touch, if you have one (optional)
- Basic programming knowledge, including object-oriented programming experience, such as Java,, NET, C, Visual Studio
- Familiarity with the Mac
Who should attend?
- Experienced programmers interested in iPhone application development
- People new to Mac development and iPhone development
Why take a workshop when I can read books, attend a lecture watch videos and webinars?
Most
people, even those with extensive experience in programming, find the
SDK difficult to master. Books and video are great to prepare for a
workshop but there is sitll no substitute for
a small hands on workshop with other developer, where you can ask
questions to an experienced instructor looking over your shoulder as you go through the episodes step by step. Basically it saves you month of time and money.
And it's Affordable
Most iPhone workshops charge double what we charge for our early bird. Included in the workshop is 200+ pages course book especially prepared for the workshop.
And one more thing - Our Alumni Network for Work/Partnerships/Funding
We don't just offer training. We are also iPhone developers ourselves, as are our alumni. We have an online alumni network where the members post jobs, requests for proposals and form partnerships.
