There are 65 frameworks in the iOS SDK. If you could get through one per week, it’d take you 15 months to learn them all. Is it seriously going to be over a year before you can start writing your own app?
You have an idea for an app, and you can’t wait to start building it. But there are dozens of iOS frameworks, and you don’t know which ones you need to build your app. You ask around for advice on getting started, and everyone tells you to “just dive in and build something.” Right. If it’s that easy, why do you feel like you’re drowning in a sea of frameworks?
Searching for how to learn iOS development on Google gets you 30 million results – and most of them are garbage. Picking through to find the resource that’s best for you could take months. Will you ever get to build your app?
What if you could start building your app tomorrow?
What if you had someone to help you navigate the sea of frameworks so you know what you need to learn – and what you can safely ignore? You’d be confident with Foundation and UIKit – the only frameworks you need to build your first app. You’d know where to go to learn new frameworks so you can build more complex apps with maps, location, the camera, and more. And the dream of turning your app idea into something incredible could finally come true.
You don’t have to spend months or years learning all the frameworks in iOS just to start writing your app.
Learn exactly what you need to build your first iOS app – without drowning in frameworks
After the one day iOS Boot Camp, you’ll be able to launch Xcode and start building your own app the next day.
In this one-day LIVE online workshop, you’ll learn:
At the end of the Boot Camp, you’ll have experience with:
You’ll walk away with an app that lists the top books and movies from iTunes. You’ll feel confident when you open Xcode to start a new project or update an existing one, knowing exactly where to go and what to do to bring your ideas to life. And you’ll have the confidence you need to use Swift, Foundation, and UIKit to build an amazing app.
Now I know enough to write simple iOS applications and I feel like I have a good foundation to learn more concepts.Jacob Krall, Fog Creek Software
Is the iOS Boot Camp right for you?
The iOS Boot Camp is designed to teach you iOS development from the ground up, so even if you don’t know Swift or UIKit or Foundation yet, that’s fine.
You need to have some basic typing skills. If you have to hunt and peck to type each character, you’ll quickly fall behind. We’ll go slowly enough that an average typist will be able to keep up. And it’s all recorded, so if you do happen to fall behind, you can always watch the recording later to finish up.
You should know basic object-oriented concepts like what an object is, what a class is, and what a method is before you take the Boot Camp. We don’t have time to cover OOP in the Boot Camp, so learn that first, then take the Boot Camp once you have a good grasp on it.
We will cover the basics of Swift in the Boot Camp, so if you haven’t tried Swift yet, that’s fine. We’ll hit the high points and use it to build an app during the Boot Camp, so you’ll have a working knowledge of Swift once the Boot Camp ends.
If you’re still unsure if this is for you, send me an email and I’d be happy to help.
What’s the format of the Boot Camp?
- Location: The iOS Boot Camp is a LIVE online workshop where you’ll be able to ask questions via text or voice chat. You’ll be able to hear me and see my screen, and you’ll write code alongside me (virtually, of course).
- Date & Time: Friday, August 14, 2015, from 10 AM to 5 PM Eastern.

And then you’ll build it with guidance and direction from me. We’ll spend an hour each week in one-on-one sessions where we’ll pair program, discuss concepts, and answer your questions. I’ll work to keep you on track, get you unstuck when you run into problems, and answer all your questions as you build and ship your first app to the App Store.
