The inaugural and slightly experimental Cocoa Foundations Workshop was a success! The workshop sold out with limited advertising and promotion, and received generally positive feedback from the 15 attendees.
Here is what was covered:
Session 1 * Definitions * Xcode Basic Setup * First Program * C Review * Object-Oriented Programming * Messaging * Memory Management Basics * Accessors & Object Initialization * Foundation * Homework: TwitterSearch
Session 2 * More Pointers * Memory Management * Protocols * Categories * Declared Properties * Foundation * Intro to AppKit * Grand Finale: TwitterSearchTouch
Special thanks Mike Zornek, Aaron Evans, Dave Martorana, and Jason Allum for their help planning and executing the workshop, as well as Alex Hillman and IndyHall for their support.
Of course, there always of room for improvement. If you have any questions or feedback about the workshop, please contact Andy Mroczkowski or any of the other organizers with your thoughts.
Stay tuned for next installment of Cocoa Foundations Workshop or other events covering more advanced topics.
And finally, one last word of appreciation to all the attendees. Thanks for being a great group!
