Big Nerd Ranch Announces Cocoa II Bootcamp, July 13-17, 2009

This new Cocoa II class provides the framework for developers with prior experience in Cocoa, or who have already taken Cocoa Bootcamp, to take their existing abilities to the next level. For the truly motivated learner, the new bootcamp is taught back-to-back with Cocoa I Bootcamp, providing students with the opportunity to go from Cocoa beginner to Cocoa master in two short weeks.

June 13, 2009 -- Big Nerd Ranch, Inc., premier provider of intensive classes for programmers, web developers and system administrators, has recently reconfigured its approach to Cocoa instruction. This year, the training company, which has built a reputation for educational excellence, identified a growing need for advanced level classes for Cocoa developers. To meet that need, Big Nerd Ranch has developed Cocoa I and Cocoa II Bootcamps, with the first Cocoa II Bootcamp scheduled for July 13-17, 2009.

For the past eight years, we have taught countless Cocoa training classes for developers with an interest in Cocoa coding with an intensive week-long accelerated approach that brings virtual novices to becoming confident Cocoa developers, said Aaron HIllegass, Big Nerd Ranch founder and president. However, in that time, Cocoa has increased its sophistication and complexity of tools and capabilities, resulting in increased pressure on Cocoa developers to adopt new skills in order to remain competitive.

The new class provides the framework for developers with prior experience in Cocoa, or who have already taken Cocoa Bootcamp, to take their existing abilities to the next level. For the truly motivated learner, the new bootcamp is taught back-to-back with Cocoa I Bootcamp, providing students with the opportunity to go from Cocoa beginner to Cocoa master in two short weeks.

Many of the developers who have taken our Cocoa Bootcamp, even from two or three years ago, have expressed a need to further refine their skills to fully integrate recent enhancements into their application development, Hillegass continued.

The class builds on the Cocoa I Bootcamp syllabus and provides even more in-depth Cocoa training on advanced features like integrating custom text into applications, and supporting Spotlight, Quick Look and AppleScript. The syllabus also includes:

's38;lt;ul's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Authoring an Apple Help book's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Delivering applications with Package Maker's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Using the Sparkle framework to deliver automatic updates to an application's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Building an application that renders OpenGL graphics and implementing a 2-dimensional slider control's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Building a status item for the menu bar and control its default behavior with a custom system preference pane's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Using advanced-level features of Interface Builder's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;li's38;gt;Analyzing Cocoa code with LLVM/CLANG instead of GCC's38;lt;/li's38;gt;

's38;lt;/ul's38;gt;
