iPhone App Development : XCode, Cocoa Framework, JQuery & PhoneGap

Course Description

This course is aimed at those who are totally new to - iOS 6 - iPhone / iPad App Development.

Usually iPhone and iPAD App development programs start and end with native app development experiences whereas this program starts with native app development but moves quickly to cross-platform mobile app development. The real advantage is that the cross-platform mobile app development experience could be used in mobile app development environments such as Android, Windows Phone 8, Symbian and so on.

How is this Program Helpful ?

• This program helps you understand the basics of iOS app development environment using Apple Mac Pro, Apple iMac or Apple Mac Mini.
• This program helps you familiarize with the Xcode IDE which is unique in many counts.
• You may be familiar with Object Oriented Programming using C++, Java or C# but Object Oriented Programming is quite different in the Objective C world.
• After gaining confidence in Objective C and Foundation Framework, you would be exposed to Model View Controller pattern used in Cocoa Touch Framework with interesting examples to make them run on iPhone / iPad emulator.
• Until this point the program would sail through the native programming environment. From here, the programming experience would move from native world to web.
• The participants will learn how to prepare Apache Server on Mac system to host HTML5, CSS3 pages for iPhone emulator to access these pages as a mobile.
• Then comes JQuery mobile, one of the most revolutionary APIs in the world of Cross-platform mobile application development.
• Finally the participants will learn how to use PhoneGap (now known as Apache Cordova) for the development of true Cross-Platform Mobile App Development.
