What you won’t see or get at 360iDev
It occurred to me, that it might be a good idea to make it clear what does/doesn’t happen at 360|iDev for those who might not know.
If you haven’t registered for 360|iDev, you’re missing out. This is a quote from past speaker Jake Behrens, “@360iDev Thank you! The conference put my life in a direction I never imagined I’d be in. You rock!“
360idev – Floridians get some local training love!
iPhone Developer Training in sunny West Palm Beach Florida. March
4th-7th at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. Jeff LaMarche, iphone guru and
author of More iPhone 3 Development is coming to West Palm Beach, FL
to teach this 4 day intensive training class. He will be covering the
basics of Objective-c, Memory Management, XCode, Interface Builder,
View Controllers, Multi Touch and more. This is an excellent
opportunity for beginning to intermediate developers looking to get
into iPhone application development!
Limited seating available so you will receive great individual
attention. Hot Breakfast, Hot lunch, snacks and drinks will be served
all day. Attendees must bring their own Apple Laptops as no computers

360iDev – Lots of cool Sunday Hands-On options
As always Sunday will be a busy day. Included in your registration you can pick from any of these awesome hands on options. If you’ve already registered, just send us an email and we’ll update your registration.
9am – 5pm : Kendall Gelner – Advanced Debugging
9am – 12pm : Jeff LaMarche – Open GL ES for the absolute beginner
1pm – 5pm : Joe Keeley – Intro to Quartz 2D
9am – 5pm : Appcelerator Hands-On with Titanium, and Hack Lab in the afternoon.
And quite likely one more, that we haven’t confirmed, but will be awesome (trust me)
As you can see, lots to keep you busy on Sunday, so plan on arriving in time to hit these up. I mean, Sunday basically turns 360|iDev into a 4 day conference, for a crazy low price.
360idev – it’s a wrap
We’ve raved on this blog about the speakers already, so I’ll wrap that up with, EVERY SINGLE ONE WAS AWESOME! That’s really all there is to say. Special thanks to David Whatley, not only did he agree to speak at the last minute, but also stepped up to moderate a frakkin’ awesome lunch time panel on “The App Store” that inspired us to make sure panels are a bigger priority in future schedules.
We had a really great time, Tom and I both agree, the 4 days of actual conference make up for the 5 months of looking for sponsors, selling tickets, dealing with hotels, etc. It’s so amazing to be with such an incredible brain trust, exchanging ideas, talking opening about troubles and successes in iPhone development.
360iDev – Sunday Hands-on Training, Your Options
In case you missed it, or we hadn’t added them when you registered, we wanted to make sure you were well aware of your training options for our Pre-Conference training Hands-on.
We’ve got 4 great classes lined up up, they’re all included in the registration price, and they’re all awesome!
Our Hands-on courses range from iPhone development 101, to an all day workshop with Saurik, the man behind the Cydia Store and celebrity in the Jailbreaking world, and everything in between.
360iDev – iPhone 101 Hands On Training Sunday
We’re really excited to be able to offer a 101 Hands on course. Education is important and while we love that our topics trend towards the advanced, we want to make sure those with less iPhone development experience can attend the conference and still come away with a great feeling of learning.
We don’t charge for our Sunday training (Have you checked the schedule lately?) because we think there’s no reason to. We want as many of our attendees to join us Sunday as possible to increase their knowledge and skill set. Plus there’s no reason 1 day pre-Conference training should be an extra fee.
360iDev – The Speakers – Jay (Saurik) Freeman
Will teach developers how to write extensions using the existing MobileSubstrate framework, as well as a soon-to-be-released runtime introspection and scripting language, both for purposes of tapping into the unofficial iPhone software market, as well as to provide people the means to understand how the existing applications perform their magic: by reaching your hands directly into their implementations. Will include a brief overview of the status the jailbroken software market, where many of these existing extensions can be found. With almost a quarter million dollars in revenues just from the 15 packages available in the Cydia Store (a small fraction of the overall jailbreak market), this area has proven itself to be a viable option for commercial development and sales.
All but one of the actual technologies I will be describing are applicable to non-jailbroken applications, but you would be limited to actually /changing/ the implementation of applications you have yourself written, although you’d be able to mess easily with things in UIKit (where a lot of the value to many users would be). In particular, the introspection framework that I am releasing is designed in such a way as to let you easily embed it into an App Store application.
It is definitely true that to get the most out of this that you can you will need to be willing to jailbreak your device (something I’d personally hope developers do anyway, in order to do more extensive testing of their application code, as well as to have better access to debugging).
360iDev – Spend the Sat/Sun Sunday before 360iDev learning iPhone OpenGL programming
Designed for CocoaTouch/UIKit programmers, Noel’s class packs everything you need to get started creating high-performance, 2D and 3D OpenGL applications into an intensive 2-day class. The class emphasizes practical knowledge and working code: you’ll write OpenGL apps showing 2D and 3D object rendering, animation, lighting, multitexturing, and point sprites.
Noel’s a master OpenGL programmer with a demonstrated ability to clearly communicate complex, graphics programming topics. He single-handedly created the critically acclaimed Flower Garden App, and his PC/console titles include The Bourne Conspiracy, Darkwatch, the MechAssault series and and Missile Command.
