Course Description Prepare to learn Objective-C and the iOS SDK by establishing the most important programming fundamentals. You'll become familiar with the Xcode Integrated Development Environment and understand the history of Objective-C by beginning or brushing-up on ANSI-C. You'll learn the compiler pipeline starting with the preprocessor and progressing through the linker. Learn the fundamentals of ANSI C and Objective-C and get a solid background and foundation for learning iPhone and iPad development. What You'll Learn in Class This course is designed to get you working efficiently and creatively in Objective-C. We have designed it as an effective combination between instructor-led demonstrations and supervised working lab where our practice exercises are designed to reinforce key concepts taught to help you gain proficiency fast. Students - you'll receive an introduction to fundamentals of ANSI C programming, as well as object-oriented programming with Objective-C classes, objects, methods, messages, instance variables, and more. Our instructor will also teach students a more in-depth understanding of how Objective-C actually works to help you when you are trying to learn a new feature of Objective-C, or resolve a problem in the debugger. Who Needs to Attend Programmers and non-programmers wanting to firmly establish fundamental programming theory and practice.
