iOS Tutorial Added to DevCon5 Web & Mobile App Developer Conference Program
TMC (News - Alert) and Crossfire Media announced today the addition of the iOS Tutorial
to DevCon5
Web & Mobile App Developer Conference at the Kimmel Center at New York
University (NYU), August 1-4, 2016, in New York, New York. The tutorial
will take place Monday, August 1st from 8:30 am - 4:30 pm and
will be presented by Mark Meretzky, Adjunct Associate Professor of
Information Technologies at NYU. The DevCon5 conference program is built
for all developers, whether they are deep in the Apple world, delivering
user experiences with Android (News - Alert)/Chrome or managing app/web portals for a
corporation.
"The reality is that apps in Apple's App Store offer a prestige and
branding that other smart devices don't have. That means even solutions
for mobile users that primarily use HTML5 and the web for delivery
probably want to have an app interface for convenience and cachet," said
Carl Ford (News - Alert), CEO, Crossfire Media, executive director of content for
DevCon5. "Our one day tutorial is intense but at the end you will have
an understanding of how to bring your solutions to your iPhone users."
The full-day tutorial focuses on writing iOS apps in Apple's new
language Swift (News - Alert) using the Xcode IDE on Macintosh. An iPhone or iPad app
is made of intercommunicating objects, and attendees will learn to
create and destroy them and call their methods in Swift.
Sessions include:
-
8:30AM - Features and Quirks of Swift- This session will point
out the quirks of Swift: the syntax for creating variables, data
structures such as arrays and dictionaries, and exotic features such
as protocols and optional variables.
-
9:30AM - What Happens when an iOS App is Launched? - This
session will explore the 5 objects automatically created when an iOS
app is launched: the application, the application delegate, the
window, the view, and the view controller.
-
10:30AM - Let's Draw a Still Life- The first apps created will
draw static text and graphics on the screen but will not move or
rspond to a touch.
-
11:30AM - Creating a Touch Sensitive App- Attendees will create
a touch-sensitive app that will receive a set of "touch objects" from
the screen and will react to them by redrawing a picture.
-
1:30PM - Animation and Gesture Recognition- In this session
attendees will make a simple animation and then explore how an app can
recognize higher-level gestures such as a horizontal vs. vertical
swipe, single vs. double tap, and pinch vs. spread.
-
2:30PM - Controls and Their Target (News - Alert) Objects- Attendees will
learn how to make the control do something useful by connecting it to
a separate object called the "target" or "delegate" of the control.
When the control is touched, a method of the target or delegate is
automatically called.
-
3:30PM - Class UIWebView for Platform-Independent HTML5- This
session will explore how an object of class UIWebView can render a
page of HTML5 on the screen. Since an HTML5 page can also be rendered
by Android, this is one way to write code that can be executed on both
platforms.
