The iPhone and iPad are the latest revolutionary mobile platforms for digital entertainment and touch-screen convenience. This course will use innovative iPhone SDK Xcode and Interface Builder along with the principles of Cocoa development to introduce you to universal object-oriented programming skills that can carry over into any other programming language. You will learn an in-demand job skill while digitally connecting with friends, creating games, experimenting with the visual technology of the on-board camera and the accelerometer, and using touch-screen technology to interact with a touch-recognition user interface. This course provides the groundwork to realize your creative potential for deploying business-related apps, making graphics with animation or building fun games. We will build original projects and work from prepared source files to understand the inner-workings of professional iPhone and iPad applications. Prerequisite: SMC-2532, PHP and MySQL, or equivalent.
NOTE: If students desire to test on an iPhone/iPad device, they should bring their own personal device to class. In-class work will be done on an iPhone simulator.
