Software Development for iOS

We'll discuss and demonstrate Apple's software development tools for the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch, and show how individuals and institutions are building innovative mobile applications for their organizations and the wider world.  We'll highlight and deconstruct some popular applications - both web-based, and native - and show you how to get started building your own with Apple's free developer tools.  We'll talk about web development with Dashcode, native application development with Xcode and Interface Builder, and review the integration and deployment options and Apple's developer program.  And if the presenter messes up, we may accidentally wind up demonstrating the debugger as well.

iOS – Designed for Start-ups

Learn why building an app on the iOS platform is an attractive opportunity for starting a company before finishing college. We'll start by getting a quick introduction to the OS that powers the iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch. We'll learn about the tools, frameworks, and resources available to developers and designers. In addition, we'll look at several start-up success stories on how students took simple app ideas and turned them into multi-million dollars companies in less than a year. 

Several local start-up companies (including one that is funded by Justin Timberlake) will be showing off their iOS app and recruiting talent after the talk.
