Seminar - Developing for the iPhone and iPod touch March 11, 2009

The iPhone and iPod touch are compelling platforms for both independent developers and small, medium, and large business interested in capitalizing on the next wave of mobility and the ever-evolving marketplace.

We'll be discussing what it takes to take a native application from concept to reality including:

• Capabilities and limitations of the iPhone and iPod touch
• Development requirements
• Objective-C, the development language for Mac OSX and iPhone/iPod touch
• Development frameworks involved in building native applications
• Different classes of applications
• Introduction to the Apple App Store
