(in partnership with the Advanced iOS meetup group (http://www.meetup.com/Advanced-iOS-Objective-C/))

Everybody is excited about WatchKit since it was released at the end of November. We saw what was possible in the hackathon presentations (http://www.hackathon.watch/live).

For those that still want to jump in, we'll walk through making a simple "Hello World" app in WatchKit with Xcode. We'll also review the features and limitations of the new SDK for Apple Watch.

If you would like to follow along, you’ll need to have Xcode 6.2 (https://developer.apple.com/xcode/downloads/).

Prep for Bootcamp

This event provides an overview of the WatchKit concepts while we build a simple app. To become a true ninja and be ready to launch a Watch app, consider the Bootcamp in January. There, we'll cover the nitty-gritty details, including API data and animation.
