Join Apple for an engaging introduction to the tools and techniques used for building native and web-based iPhone applications.

We'll show you how to build web-based applications with Dashcode and Safari, as well as native applications using Xcode and Interface Builder. Once you know how to develop applications, you'll also want to learn about the deployment process for iPhone applications. We'll discuss how you get your application onto the iTunes App store, or how to distribute it freely within your organization.

For education institutions looking to introduce curriculum for developing iPhone or iPod touch applications, Apple offers the iPhone Developer University Program. The University Program provides a wealth of development resources, sophisticated tools for testing and debugging, and the ability to share applications within the same development team. Institutions can also submit applications for distribution in the App Store. We'll talk about this program and show you how you can get started teaching iPhone application development in the classroom.


Agenda:
- iPhone Development with Dashcode
- iPhone Development with Xcode and Interface Builder
- Conference and Classroom Collaboration with mobilAP
- Application Deployment Options
- Getting Started with the iPhone Developer University Program
- Q&A


The iPhone Development for Education Seminar will be presented by Steve Hayman, a National Consulting Engineer with Apple's Education Team based in Toronto. Steve specializes in Apple's developer tools and UNIX core. Prior to Apple, Steve worked with that other Steve at NeXT Computer, where he first fell in love with the combination of powerful object-oriented development tools and a great Unix core; before that he was Network Manager at Indiana University; before that he picked up an M.Math at Waterloo, and before that he had a summer job painting construction equipment. Steve is delighted that Apple's blend of Unix and OO is reaching many more users than NeXT's tools ever did, and although he enjoys a good "vi vs. emacs" argument as much as any Unix geek, he's even more intrigued with what you can do with strong OO tools and libraries. Steve is particularly fond of the WebKit open source objects included in Mac OS X 10.5 and has built and thrown away dozens of different web browsers as a result.
