You have questions about iOS Code Camp, I have answers

Matthew Campbell, August 21, 2012

Over the past few weeks, I’ve been getting a whole lot of email about iOS Code Camp. Since, I’m sure that many of you also would like to know the questions to these questions I figured that I would send out my responses now.

BTW iOS Code Camp is only 12 days away and seats are selling out fast. Act now if you want to ensure that you can get into the next group. Click here to find get all the details and register for iOS Code Camp.

Ok, let’s go right to the Frequently Asked Questions:

“Matt, it’s hard for me to stick to a schedule because I have work and kids. Can I still get through iOS Code Camp?”

YES iOS Code Camp is a combination of self-directed training and personal interaction. You can attend the program on your own terms and you have plenty of time to go through the program. Even the weekly coaching call is recorded so you can watch the video conference later on if you choose.

“How come there are a limited number of iOS Code Camp seats available. Isn’t this online?”

Even though iOS Code Camp is web based, the real value is personal interaction, coaching and accountability. In order to be capable of giving everyone the attention they deserve I need to limit the class size.

“I’m not a professional software developer, can I still take iOS Code Camp?”

YES Earlier this year, I streamlined and updated the program and set everything up so that even a novice technologist can get a lot out of iOS Code Camp. You will go through the process of actually creating a real application step by step so iOS Code Camp is a great introduction to the world of professional software development.
