iPhone Application Development
Target Audience
Participants should possess an eagerness to learn programming and be keen to embark on a journey as architects of their own software!
A previous background in programming is not compulsory for the SAE iPD Basics Course as sessions include fundamentals of Objective C programming, in addition to the theories and techniques necessary to develop iPhone applications.
The prerequisite for the SAE iPD Advanced Course is either completion of the SAE iPD Basics Course or knowledge of Objective C programming language.
Course Rationale and Aim
iPhone App Dev Basics Course
This course focuses on the fundamentals of Objective C Programming for the iPhone & iPod Touch. Participants will be introduced to the programming environment for iPhone application development and will have a hands-on approach to Objective C programming using the tools provided in the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK). Students will begin to understand the process of building apps.
iPhone App Dev Advanced Course
This course focuses on using the Objective C programming language to create an iPhone application. It also introduces participants to key theories, concepts, issues, and the business model of the Apple App Store along with Apple's app review process. Students will learn the submission process to Apple for appraisal. Participants will be able to produce a functional application at the end of the course.
