Description:
Beyondsoft is hosting Bess Ho for a low cost one day training session to help you develop iPhone and iPad applications. To get the most out of the session, you should bring your mac and be ready to get into XCode, so you should have a working knowledge of mac and the platform, and some familiarity with the iPhone/iPad, but you should still be new to iPhone development and should have never published an iPhone application to the store before. If you are already developing professionally for the Apple platform this training may not be for you. If you are experimenting and want to know more about how to develop and market your application this is your training. This training is moderate to intermediate, in the future we will offer more advanced training. For these first sessions Beyondsoft is focused on building a community of developers focused on mobile development for iPhone and iPad on the East Side.
