The Intensive 3-Day iPhone Boot Camp includes the course book with over 200 pages of slides, sample code and exercises, Workshops are limited in size and are hand-on with exercises and plenty of time for Q & A with the instructor.

These are the comments on the last San Francisco iPhone Boot Camp with Inedible Software founders Eddie Marks and James Anthony:

Gus Ayesh
“This was intense, wonderful, thought provoking and rich indeed. We covered technology, development, and marketing. The instructors are phenomenal. Thank you guys.”

Jan Rupp
“I thought that the workshop was great. I learned as much asIi expected and more. The trainers where excellent. Overall a great experience."

The 3 day intensive 10am-6pm covers the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough training that you should be able to develop your own iPhone application. The workshop features hands on exercises under the supervision of the instructor and teaching assistants. Syllabus

Instructors:

Eddie Marks and James Anthony, Inedible software, co-founders

James and Eddie co-founded Inedible Software, a Palo Alto based iPhone development company with over 3.9M downloads. They first learned iPhone programming at Stanford University in CS193P, where they were taught by Paul Marcos and Evan Doll, two Apple engineers. After graduating in June 2009, with James earning a BS in Physics and Eddie a BAH (Honors) in Economics and a BS in Mathematics, they started work on Inedible Software full time.

Their first product, Air Guitar, started as a final project for CS193P and then went through another month of polishing before being released to the store. Over the next months they created four additional applications, launching two into the overall top 10 lists and two into their category’s respective top 30.

Their primary focus has been exploring the capabilities of the accelerometer, moving from typical shake and tilt detection to full gesture recognition (Air Guitar detects strumming and whammying, Shotgun Free / Pro detect cocking and firing and POW detects punching). They also created an app (currently unavailable) to promote the Magnolia Pictures film Mutant Chronicles.

Industry players have recognized them as having unique insights on the evolution of the app marketplace, and they hope to share their experiences monetizing apps with advertisers and pay models and ensuring an app gets noticed.

About the iPhone Boot Camp
The iPhone Boot camp is the leading training workshop for professional iPhone development. We employ top level developer-trainers to teach iPhone development and related iPhone development tools, such as Cocoa, Objective C and Open GL ES. To date we have trained in six cities in two countries over 100 developers who have developed dozens of apps in the app store, from indpendent developer to Fortune 500 companies, including IBM, AOL, genentech, SRI, Thomson Reuter, AP, theknot.com, Crate and Barrel, Shure, HBSC,etc.

What should I bring with me?

An Intel Macintosh laptop computer.
A limited number of MacBook Pro laptop computers will be available for rental at reasonable rental rates.
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.

Our Alumni Network for Work

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.
