-- the primary language of the Cocoa and Cocoa Touch development environments.
iPhone Programming Workshop is a five-day course that takes attendees from the basics of Objective-C 2.0 all the way through the development of example iPhone applications with

navigation between different views, managing and presenting data in table views, persisting user and application data, and more.
Attendees will learn to use Apple'ss Xcode development environment, Interface Builder, and the Cocoa Touch programming framework. They will also learn to manage the iPhone'ss memory, deal
with system events, and enable their apps to interact with other iPhone applications and services such as the Address Book, Safari, and the built-in accelerometers. In addition, they'sll
learn the best techniques for overall application design to achieve optimal performance and ease of maintenance.
Although Objective-C for Beginners and iPhone Programming Workshop are individually priced at $1,295 and $2,495 respectively, the iPhone Programming for Beginners training bundle is
priced at only $3,495, with additional early bird, group, government, and educational discounts -- plus the WWDC discount -- available. The bundled courses are delivered over an eight-day
