Seminar: Games Development with iOS - WS 11/12

Description

The course is aimed to give an introduction to Objective-C programming with Xcode 4.2 IDE and iOS 5.x and to game development. Students will learn how to program in Objective-C and how to use Cocoa and Cocoa Touch libraries. The course language is English.

Goal

The goal of the course is to prepare iOS beginners to participate in projects focusing on the development of iOS applications for real customers. After the introductory sessions on the first four days, the students have one week to develop their own game in groups of two. At the end of the seminar, they must deliver and demonstrate their game in a short presentation.

Prerequisite

Participating students should be familiar with object oriented programming concepts and a language such as Java, C++ or C#.  Background knowledge in Objective-C and MacOS X is not required.
