“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 December basic and advanced workshop and January Three Day Intensive iPhone Boot Camp

“ This course is a great way to jump start your iPhone app development. Taking this course will save you several weeks of wasted effort while you try to figure out the API and more than pay for itself in your very first project. ”
— Giri Iyengar, CTO-signalpatterns.com, attended December basic and advanced workshop

"The course is a VERY intensive, heads down class that provides the participants with the capabilities to create iPhone apps. The bootcamp provides a soup-to-nuts outline of how this can be accomplished. Jonathan's help and assistance provided the essential "oil" to make this class run smoothly for the 3 days. Highly recommended." - Bob Angell, iPhone Developer, attended January Three Day Intensive iPhone Boot Camp

Short clip of scenes from the Basic Boot Camp Workshop in iPhone Development


The iPhone BootCamp NYC is for for aspiring and professional developers interested in creating applications on the iPhone. We have trained over 150 developers to day in 10 cities in the USA and the UK. Companies whose employees we have trained include Intuwin, Desparity, domanistudios.com, arielpartners.com, Prucey Development, Thomson Reuters, Associated Press (AP), Genetech, MagicBox, etc.

The six and three day intensive workshop from 10am-6 pm will cover the fundamentals and advanced feature of iPhone development, enough material that 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.

The iPhone Boot Camp is dedicated to providing the highest quality training possible in iPhone development. We hire only recognized experts in the field with years of experience developing on the Mac - former Apple engineers, creators of bestselling iPhone apps, renown authors of books relating to iPhone development - iPhone and Mac developers that thoroughly know what they are teaching and how best to teach it. Our trainers for the upcoming Master Classes in New York City are two best selling authors and leading authorities on Objective-C and the SDK and iPhone Development.

Steve Kochan, Objective- C, author of the best seller, Programming in Objective C -2.0 that sold over a million copies. He has authored and co-authored eight other books on Objective-C programming

Jeff LaMarche, co-author of the bestselling books on iPhone and develoment on the Mac Beginning iPhone Development: Exploring the iPhone SDK and Learn Cocoa on the Mac

The Six Day Intensive workshop from 10am-6pm, a full 48 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.

Developers have the option to attend the workshop on any of the six days or the entire six day workshop, according to their knowledge level. Both the Objective-C and SDK train developers from the very basics in iPhone development to the most advanced features.

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.
To find out more about the iPhone Boot Camp, including videos, a detailed syllabus, links to our local meetup groups and detailed info on how to prepare for the workshop go to our main site iPhoneBootCampNYC

The workshops includes over three hundred pages of course material specifically written for the workshop.
