Requirements

Who is this course for?

You should be familiar with programming and Object-Oriented Programming. 

Results and Goals

I have taught this material to programmers and they have quickly been productive for their companies. I understand that the price of this course seems high.  These concepts and the material presented here have been developed over the past 3 years.

By taking advantage of these video courses that start from the basics, using a see-and-do model, you should quickly learn by doing.  If anything, you will be learning ahead of the 'standard learning' curve for new iPhone programmers.  

BEAT THE LEARNING CURVE

Even though I am a professional software developer, who has been developing commercial software since high school, it took 6 months of reading iPhone programmer books and creating iPhone apps to 'get it'.  

FAST TRACK YOURSELF TO A PUBLISHED APP

Programmers I have taught this material to, have beaten this learning curve by months. You will save time, which is money... you could be making on apps!  I am sure you will 'get it' quickly, through this video course as well.  

I envy you and the investment you have made in yourself and your future career in iPhone app development.  This course will bootstrap you and enable you to be productive quickly as an iPhone app developer.  I’ll lead you by the hand from the basics to a published app in the app store.  

Cheers to your success,

Shawn Arney - professional iOS Developer and trainer
