Our good friend & RubyFringe alumnus Dan Grigsby has an important announcement for you :
In an act of solidarity and comradeship, FutureRuby and Mobile Orchard, are pleased to present: Beginning iPhone Programming For Rubyists, a developers’ workshop.
Spend the Thursday and Friday before the conference learning to build polished, ready-to-ship iPhone applications. Dan Grigsby, a speaker at RubyFringe last year, will be teaching a discounted, adapted-for-Rubyists version of Mobile Orchard’s renown beginning iPhone programming class. Walk in Thursday morning with no previous Objective-C, Cocoa, or iPhone development experience; walk out — and over to FAILcamp — having built apps that incorporate location, motion and email. On Friday you’ll build table/ navigation style apps (e.g., Apple’s Mail and Contacts app) with persistent data storage, hybrid web/native apps, apps that consume ActiveResource RESTful APIs, and more.The class mixes practical project examples with Objective-C and Cocoa-Touch fundamentals like memory management, protocols and delegates, properties and categories.
All are equal, but some more than others: seats are available on a first-come, first-serve basis and fill up quickly. Normally priced at $1200USD, FutureRuby attendees who register before June 9 pay $699; $799USD thereafter. For details, or for details, visit http://www.mobileorchard.com/future
