Elstree Film Studios - Training Courses - iPhone Apps Training Courses
With the current explosion of interest for new convergent technologies, the demand is greater than ever for clear and concise information enabling individuals and companies to fully grasp and understand the potentials and pitfalls of developing applications for the rapidly expanding Smartphone and mobile technology markets.
In this intensive introduction course we will detail exactly how iPhone and iPad applications are made, the languages used, and how best to choose, develop and refine your own iPad or iPhone applications. In addition to the technical aspects, we also study the industry in detail, examining the various trends and potential markets available to you for promoting your applications, as well as several popular business models and which of those are proving to be the most successful.
The afternoon segment of the course contains a brainstorming session which allows you to fully discuss and refine your iPhone or iPad application concept with the aid of an experienced Smartphone specialist, including examining the viability of your idea and how best to implement it whilst keeping the complexities and costs to a minimum.
Please note that whilst the technical aspects of this course are explored in depth, this course is not aimed at teaching delegates exactly how to program their own iPhone or iPad applications; this requires many months of study and a grounding in OOP (Object Orientated Programming). Instead, we fully explain how these languages are used in the construction of Smartphone applications, so that you may make fully informed decisions regarding the development of your apps, and how best to choose the right developer when armed with a through understanding of the technical jargon involved.
