Here’s What Developers Are Saying About iOS Code Camp…
WHAT CAN I SAY MATT ! JUST LOOK AT MY TWO SUCCESSFUL APPS ON THE APP STORE!
“What can I say Matt ! Just look at my two successful apps on the App store ! Your course was clear, informative and very personal. Helping us along with live answers to our frustrating mess-ups was first class & would have taken days if not weeks to figure out through books.
Your course was worth every penny and then some. After all that, you award us with s “Lifetime Membership” WOW ! Code Camp is a true no brainer !!!!!!!”
- Rick, Founder RSVP Multimedia Inc., created ColdCalcPROB and ColdCalcMDA iPhone apps
IOS CODE CAMP IS BY FAR THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO LEARN
“I am already a professional programmer and have attended many classes and read countless books about learning new languages during my career. iOS Code Camp is by far the most effective way to learn a new language. I have and will continue to recommend your course to all of my peers in the programming community.”
- Robert Farnlof
iOS Code Camp Specifics
Daily Presentations
iOS Code Camp is an online training system that takes place for three weeks. Each weekday you will attend an online GoToMeeting event with me and other developers. At the end of the presentation you will get a chance to ask questions. The presentations are recorded so you don’t have to worry if you miss one.
Daily Labs
After a day’s presentation you will get an extensive lab exercise where you learn by making apps. Each day you will make a new app that will reinforce the presentation content. Learning by doing is the a key part of iOS Code Camp.
Ongoing Coaching & Video Based Debugging
As you go through the labs you won’t be alone. I use Base Camp as a collaboration tool which makes it easy for me to help you out when you get stuck.
When you run into problems just upload your zipped source code project and I will do a video debugging session. This is a great way to learn the programming procoess and get help on specific technical issues. Plus, you can save the videos for future reference and see all your fellow developer’s debugging videos as well.
Here Is What You Will Learn
This content sequence has been hand picked by me because I know this is exactly what you need to get started developing your own apps. The content below represents three years of developing, tweaking with live audiences and updating to stay current with the latest iOS SDK.
Week 1 – Essential iOS Design Patterns, Best Practices & Tools
In week one, we will go over the fundamentals that you will build on throughout the rest of the sessions. By the end of week one, you will be able to build a simple single page iOS application.
1.1 – Mobile Apps, XCode 4, Interface Builder, Hello World
This is the introductory session where you will find out the low-down on the current mobile development universe. You will also be exposed to the iOS SDK for the first time with two Hello World examples using XCode, Interface Builder and even code.
1.2 – Objective-C Object Oriented Programming
Here will be go over the syntax of Objective-C which is the programming language that you will use with iOS SDK. We will also cover some advanced topics like blocks in addition to more traditonal object-oriented concepts like classes, properties and methods.
1.3 – View Controllers, Singleton Model Classes, MVC
In the section on view controls, singleton and MVC you’ll explore the major design patterns behind UIKit. You will also see how to implement view controllers that work well with simple model classes as well as more complex Singleton classes.
1.4 – User Controls #1: Target-Action
The first section on user controls introduces the topic of user controls and who to work with them in Interface Builder. You will also learn the fundamental target-action design pattern that is used with many user controls like buttons and sliders.
1.5 – User Controls #2: Delegation
The last section in week one ends with one of the most important design patterns in iOS SDK called Delegation. Delegation is needed for user controls like the date picker but Delegation is used throughout iOS SDK in Foundation classes like NSXMLParser as well.
Week 2 – UIKit and Core Data
In week two, we take the essential fundamentals that we mastered and allow them to the richer UIKit frameworks. Plus, we’ll add Core Data into the fix to give you the skills to make your own full iOS app (iPhone and iPad) by the end of week two.
2.1 – Navigation and Tab Bar Multipage Apps
Apps that need more than one page for the users to see have special view controllers that give you powerful multipage features. In this section we will go over the two UIKit components that give your app multipage functionality.
2.2 – Table Views
Table views are the UIKit component that gives you the ability to list out tables of data one screen at a time. These common UIKit components are an integral part of most iOS apps. You will learn how to present information in table views and to use advanced features of table views in this section.
2.3 – Toolbars and In-App Email
Rounding out our discussion of UIKit are toolbars. Toolbars are powerful UIKit components that help us organize sets of functions and present them to the users. In the lab, you will wrote your own iOS app that helps email with a data attachement.
2.4 – Core Data I Introduction
Core Data is the native database solution for iOS and it’s a huge topic. In this section, you see how to include Core Data into your projects and add Core Data functionality to your model.
2.5 – Core Data II Advanced Features with Universal Apps
We end week two with advanced Core Data features. Part of this section includes pointers on how to incorporate Core Data and UIKit into the iPhone portion of a universal app. This is where you see how it all comes together and you will see how to share your model between your iPhone and your iPad app.
Week 3 – Advanced Topics
In week three, we go over some things that you can use to really make your apps shine. At this point, you will have seen everything that you need to create an app with UIKit and Core Data. Now, it’s simply a matter of polish and adding in advanced features specific for your app.
3.1 – Cloud Computing & Web Services
Connecting to the cloud is becoming increasingly essential these days. We’ll talk about the built in features that iOS has to work with the cloud (Internet web services). Also, we’ll go over some open source and other third party frameworks that are available to make it easy to use the cloud in your app.
3.2 – Making Magical and Responsive Apps with Threading
Here we go over some design considerations that should be taken into account when polishing your app. Part of this is making sure your app is responsive and so we go over how to use multi-threading to do this.
3.3 – Split View, Popovers and iPad Apps
Here is where we go over the iPad-specific features of iOS. We will use the app from 2.5 and add the iPad features to the universal app that we already started.
3.4 – Core Location and MapKit
iOS apps are uniquely able to get location information from their surroundings and many cool app ideas use this feature. We are going to go over Core Location which locates an iOS device in the world and also MapKit which is the embedded Google map feature developers can add to their apps.
3.5 – Mastering iOS App Development
Learning iOS SDK is only one step in the process of being an app developer. This could be the beginning of a lifelong obsession, passion or journey. In this module, we talk about what you need to do to become a master iOS developer.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to know programming to go to iOS Code Camp?
Yes. To get the most out of iOS Code Camp you should know an object oriented langauge like C#, Java, Visual Basic or C++. You just need to know the basic concepts and have some experience writing software. This training will assume that you know what is meant by terms like: objects, classes, properties, methods, functions, loops, if-then statements and so on.
Do I need to know Objective-C to go to iOS Code Camp?
No. New iOS developers rarely know Objective-C (the programming language for iOS). We go over the Objective-C syntax in class and we use it throughout the training. By the end you will be familar with the language at a basic level. Once you graduate you get access to my membership website which has an advanced Objective-C self-directed course that you can use to improve your skills in this langauge.
What apps will I make in the lab sections of iOS Code Camp?
In total you will set up and write the code for up to 15 iOS apps. In the beginning, the apps are simpler and designed to demonstrate an essential design pattern or technique. By the second day, you will be making complex apps like the ones below:
Project Manager App
With this app you will explore the Singleton design pattern for model objects, navigation and tab bar and see how all the pieces of a real app fit together.
Picture Emailer App
This is always a popular app at iOS Code Camp events. Here you will create an app that uses the iPhone camera to take a picture or image from your photo library and displays the image on your iPhone screen. Then you can have the app send the image as an attachment through email.
Map Based Note Taker
This app uses Core Location to get the your location. Then you can add a note to your Core Data store based on your location making a located based note taking app. You can also use MapKit to display your note on a map.
Core Data Note Taker Universal App (iPhone and iPad)
In this app you use advanced Core Data techniques to create a note taking application. This app works on both the iPad and the iPhone and uses advanced iPad controls like the split view controller and popovers.
iPad Screens
Are you the real deal?
Fair question. Yes, in 2008-2010 I had 9 apps on the app store and lived entirely off of that income. Before that I worked in education research and did software training and researched new technology as my job. So I have experience in education, counseling psychology and iOS software development specifically so I’m uniquely suited to lead training groups like iOS Code Camp.

THE BEST IPHONE COURSE ON THE NET
Matt- what up? A quick note about your program. I am a week with the program and it is by far the best iPhone course on the net.
@anthody73
I WOULD DEFINITELY TAKE ANOTHER CLASS WITH MATT IN THE FUTURE.
Matt’s class was wonderful. He gave clear examples and plenty of time to try the exercises out on our own with his help.
Matt was very helpful and answered all of my questions in a way that I could understand. I felt comfortable asking questions and thought that Matt did a great job of covering topics that came up during training.
Overall this was a great experience for me and I would definitely take another class with Matt in the future.
Jessica Calvert, Software Engineer
HELPED ME TO ACHIEVE A FIRM UNDERSTANDING
The three-day boot camp session was quite intense! It personally helped me to achieve a firm understanding of the nuts and bolts of building apps and understanding how they work
EXPLAINED A GREAT DEAL THAT WAS MISSING FROM MANY OF THE BOOKS
Very intensive three-day class. Learned a ton and Matt explained a great deal that was missing from many of the books out there. Now it’s time to absorb everything!
TREMENDOUSLY IMPROVED MY SKILLS
With my Java Development background, this iPhone boot camp tremendously improved my skills and concepts required to build a professional iPhone apps.
Ghazenfer Mansoor / Technology Rivers
EXCELLENT COURSEWORK AND A GREAT STARTING POINT FOR DEVELOPERS
iPhone App class was very helpful and gave me boost to start planning for my app both technically and analytically. Instructor is very knowledgeable and willing to work with individuals during the class. Especially the eBook is very helpful and talks about basics in programming and developing iphone apps.
Overall excellent coursework and a great starting point for developers interested in developing iPhone apps.
Thank you for everything.

MATT IS A GREAT INSTRUCTOR AND IS PASSIONATE
Matt is a great instructor and is passionate about iPhone technology. I would recommend Matt’s bootcamp to anyone
I’M GLAD I TOOK IT.
This course was a good introduction to iPhone programming, it would have taken me a lot longer to figured it out by myself. I’m glad I took it.
Mauro
EQUIPPED WITH ENOUGH KNOWLEDGE TO COMPLETE IT AND SUBMIT
Matt was able to help me hit the ground running with my app, Split Counter. By the end of the boot camp, was equipped with enough knowledge to complete it and submit to the app store. I am hoping he teaches an advanced class in the near future.
Jon M., Split Counter
EXCELLENT COURSE
“Excellent course to start building your own apps for iPhone and iPad!”
Amit Kohli
I WISH YOU HAD COME OUT WITH THIS BOOK EARLIER!
I’ve just bought your ebook. You know what, I wish you had come out with this ebook earlier! Your ebook has 215 pages, not including the Objective C crash course and the cheat sheet and other stuff.
I will read it slowly, to fully understand the concepts, because app creation is new to me. This is really worth the money I paid for it.
Thank you

YOU PERSONALIZED YOUR SERVICE
Matt, I appreciate you following up on a question i had right after i purchased the book. You personalized your service by not blowing a little fish in the sea like me off. And you responded quickly.
I look forward to further communication and creative projects you will accomplish. Thanks again Matt
Curtis

GREAT JOB!
Great job, I’m still going through it and even using the book as a reference in some cases.
William
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE UPDATE!
You put a lot of effort into the book and it shows! Well done and I look forward to the update for the 3.0.
William
THIS IS GREATLY APPRECIATED..
Thanks very much for the email about an update – it is unusual for ebook authors to bother about their customers once they have their money – this is greatly appreciated..
Michael
LOVE THE BOOK
love the book — I would like a kindle version (every thing I read on kindle now)! Can’t wait to dig more into it (although time is always so precious)
Denise
MUCH BETTER THAN ANY OF THE 6 BOOKS I HAVE BOUGHT
I gotta tell you…this ebook is much better than any of the 6 books I have bought from Amazon. Some of the hardcover books are cool because of the sample source code BUT they assume I know all about C programming and never explain the basics like you do !!
The extra Bonus stuff is also AMAZING!! I love the source code snippets but the SQLite program is very helpful to me as I have an app I am working on that uses tables which looks lame compared to your pretty tables with images, subtext and turn blue on tap…simply awesome !!
Steve
PROVED VERY HELPFUL
How to Make An iPhone App, proved very helpful in getting me up to speed developing for the iPhone. I especially liked the section on the application development formula. It provided me with a formula to use on my next release.
John Ryan, Indy Developers.
YOUR BOOK IS STRAIGHT TO THE POINT
I really enjoy learning from this book! I’ve tried others and it seems like they write just to fill pages, but your book is straight to the point and I’m picking things up really good.
Jerome B., Computer Science Major
IDEAL FOR HELPING BEGINNERS
Nobody’s perfect, but this book comes the closest to being the ideal for helping beginners to come to grips with what is really a very difficult concept – designing an iPhone App. I have bought a number of books on the subject, but find I keep coming back to this one.
Thanks very much
Arthur Taylor
WRITTEN WELL AND EASY TO UNDERSTAND
he book is great for anyone who wants to learn the basics or have a reference point for the basic to intermediary coding concepts and examples for iPhone programs. All major areas are covered and it is written well and easy to understand (of course you have to make the effort as well).
Herbert Bosin, Cheltenham UK
EASY TO FOLLOW GUIDE THAT CAN HELP ANYONE
This is a great, easy to follow guide that can help anyone, programmer or non-programmer alike to start working with the iPhone SDK.
Alexander Tushinsky, LTMOD Computer Solutions
THIS EBOOK IS A WINNER
This ebook is a winner, for the price & what you get, it’s a no brainer.
I HAD A REALLY GOOD IDEA OF WHERE TO START
I wanted to get started but couldn’t even understand the developer docs. I armed my self with this book a weekend and lots of coffee. Afterwards I wasn’t a super iPhone developer, but I had a really good idea of where to start with all my ideas and what was in store for me out there in the real app store!
