Apple Hosts iPhone Tech Talk World Tour

Posted 10 October 2008 @ 6am in Development

Apple will be hosting free iPhone Tech Talk’s starting later this month and continuing through December. The talks will be hosted by Apple engineers and technology evangelists in the US, Europe, India, Asia, and Australia. Apple representatives will discuss and provide guidance in user interface design, game design, code optimization, web and custom Apps for businesses and make themselves available to answer questions about software development on mobile devices.

You have to be a registered iPhone Developer in order to attend these sessions which you can sign up for online. The sessions will be held in the following cities in North America; click the link above to see other locations around the globe.

  • Oct 22 San Francisco
  • Oct 24 Los Angeles
  • Nov 03 Austin
  • Nov 05 Chicago
  • Dec 02 New York
  • Dec 04 Toronto
  • Dec 09 Seattle

The North American agenda could be likened to WWDC; but it’s smaller and it’s free. There are several tracks: Introduction to Objective-C and Cocoa Touch, iPhone Development Tools Overview, Basic and Advanced UIKit and Device Features, iPhone User Interface Design, iPhone Game Development Technologies, Maximizing Your Application’s Performance on iPhone, and Submitting to the App Store using iTunes Connect.

Another track focuses corporate development, including the sessions Getting started with iPhone Web applications, Using Advanced Web Technologies on iPhone, Integrating iPhone with IT, and In-house Application Development for iPhone.

In other regions, a reduced session outline will be presented. Apple warns that seating is limited and so it’s recommended that you sign up as soon as possible. WWDC in 2008 was the first WWDC to have ever sold out so you can expect that these sessions will also fill up quickly.

As of this morning the website http://developer.apple.com/events/iphone/techtalks/ is showing that sessions in the entire US are full.

As of this morning we do not have confirmation from any of our associates that anyone has been accepted officially to any of the sessions.

So it’s not clear if they are full due to reservations only or actual confirmations from Apple that people have a slot reserved.

If you have a confirmed slot reserved or received confirmation to that effect please contact us at iPhone Atlas.

So I think all the cities listed qualify as good cities to bring this to, but why is Denver left off the list? A few years ago this area, from Colorado Springs to Denver to Boulder and up to Fort Collins was considered the 2nd or 3rd techy area (depends on who you listened to) to Silicon Valley and Seattle respectively. Hopefully they’ll have a round two tour and make it through here.

Now that on October 1 Apple dropped the restrictive non-disclosure agreement that prohibited the teaching the SDK  a few New York City developers are offering classes in iPhone application development around the country and abroad.

Taking the lead a group of New York iPhone developers formed the iPhone Bootcamp in New York created a meetup in New York City for iPhone developers. In mid-November they offered their first workshop in basic iPhone development, taught by leading NYC iphone developer Alex Cone, CEO of CodeFab and Chief Engineer at Medialets, a creative ad network for native mobile applications.

On December 13th and 14th two more workshops are scheduled for both basic and advanced iPhone Development. The goal is to train developers in iPhone Development and then spin a company off the training so the developers can work full time on the apps.

Currently the IPhone Bootcamp NYC is offering a discounted Early-bird rate.
