I'm teaching my highly-acclaimed Native iOS development workshop in Brighton (UK) next month, from the 22nd-24th of February.
The course will give you strong foundations in Objective-C and Cocoa Touch to give you a solid start to building your own iOS apps in just three days.

Next month is going to be amazing!
Helping with the Brighton Digital Festival, staging Update 2011, teaching kids at local schools to program, flying to Sweden to teach my iOS workshop, speaking at Improving Reality, and attending dConstruct and Flash on the Beach… I have quite a month ahead.
Following my PayPal nightmare with the Update conference, I decided to create a site to warn future event and conference organizers that using PayPal could be detrimental to the health of their event: ConferencesBurnedByPayPal.tumblr.com.
