We are partnering with Steve Kochan and his team at ClassroomM, Inc., to bring you live, web-based training on iOS (iPhone and iPad) application development. Addison-Wesley’s Live Online Training allows you to have the benefits of face-to-face training without having to travel. For those of you who were unable to attend the Live sessions, or for those interested in Part Two who need to "catch up", we are offering a recorded version of Part One.

The first course¿was Programming in Objective-C Part One. This series will get you started learning everything you need to know about the language that is the key to iOS development. It will also prepare you for Part Two.

¿

At the end of this course, you will know how to:

• Discuss and apply the principles of Object Oriented Programming
• Use Mac OS X developer tools to enter, edit, compile and run programs
• Write programs in Objective-C 2.0
• Use basic programming constructs to write expressions, loops and make decisions
• Use inheritance works and write subclasses
• Use properties, the dot operator and synthesized methods
• Use self and super

Based on Steve’s best-selling book, Programming in Objective-C 2.0, you can jumpstart your iOS development career. If you know any other programming language and want to start developing for the iOS platform, this is the place to start. If you have a Mac computer and have downloaded and installed Apple's free developer tools, you are ready to take the course. You do not need to know other object oriented languages or the C language to be successful.
