Churning Theoretical knowledge into Practical Skills

iPhone SDK Training presents the tools and skills needed to create applications for this mobile platform. E-MEC Developer breaks down the process of becoming an iPhone developer, from getting started with the tools and the language to building user interfaces and working with the unique features of the iPhone. With multiple hands-on exercises and demonstration projects, We explores the core development tools for iPhone (Xcode, Interface Builder, and Instruments), the language (Objective-C), and the framework (Cocoa Touch).
