I’ll be teaching another iPhone Bootcamp in Washington DC on August 20-22. Register now and save $500 with early-bird registration! In general it’s a smallish group of experienced developers with lots of great questions and discussion. The bootcamp will be at the Affinity Lab in DC and is completely metro accessible. I taught a bootcamp there earlier this year and we had a great time. I pasted the agenda below.
If your company is interested in personalized onsite training drop us a note at info@element84.com and we’d be happy to talk about setting one up. We can tailor to small and large groups as well as various experience levels. One of our most popular training courses is a morning executive session discussing the business aspects of app development and the AppStore ecosystem then an afternoon technical session with developers.
