Prerequisite: V22.0201 or equivalent

In this course, we will learn to create applications for Apple’s iPhone 3G using Objective-C
and the iPhone SDK.

Since its introduction this past summer, the Apple SDK has been revealed to be a powerful
platform upon which to build sophisticated applications for the iPhone. Without actually
having to own an iPhone, students will be able to build and test their applications on
Intel Apple Macs using the freely available compiler and simulator. In addition to the
development tools, students will become proficient in the object-oriented language
Objective-C, the Apple iPhone Framework, and the principles of Cocoa development.
This is a new, dynamic, constantly-evolving topic, and students will be at the forefront
of a new technological advancement.
