Training Cocoa Programming – 5 days

Class overview :

The emphasis on this course is on programming. The course commences with a detailed overivew of Objective-C 2.0 and the Foundation Framework. The early GUI examples are developed programmatically, outside of Interface Builder so as to provide a feel for the framework and its constituent parts, and an understanding of serialisation.

Class goals :

As well as developing proficiency in working with XCode and Interface Builder attendees will learn how to design effective event driven user interface based applications including:

  • Implementing code for drawing and animation
  • Laying out and managing user interface widgets such as buttons, text fields, sliders and scoll bars
