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.

The UK government is looking to remove Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) from the core curriculum and remove funding for it entirely. Anna Debenham, who recently attended a Think Tank organised by Naace, just wrote a blog post on what was discussed that summarizes the status quo. In it, she states:

The process was described as "slash and burn".

I love to teach and I had a blast this year while teaching my 3-Day iOS SDK course for iPhone and iPad at venues around the world. And, based on the feedback, the students had a blast too.

I will be teaching my 3-Day Introduction to iOS Development workshop this month, November 24-26, 2010, right after I return from giving the second day opening keynote and teaching a one-day iPhone workshop at Future of Web Design in New York. The venue is the beautiful Lighthouse Arts in central Brighton (UK).

This intensive course will give you a solid foundation in developing with the iOS SDK (for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch), Xcode (both 3 & and the upcoming 4), and Objective-C. To see a more detailed outline of the course and get all the juicy details, please see the course's web-site.
