@Narcis and @Patrick, an introductory course on Objective-C by Simon Allardice is in production and will be published very soon.

@Dru, we are planning to offering in-depth courses on Core Data and other popular iOS SDK features – stay tuned!

My iPad development request (more of a general iOS thing, actually): Core Data. That’s a significant topic to warrant its own course.

I would love to see tutorials covering programs for digital publishing for iPad, including Adobe’s upcoming digital publishing suite. There’s plenty of info out there for interactive magazine design and publishing, but getting that onto an iPad is a bit of a mystery right now…

I’d like to see some video training on different workflows/approaches to iOS development. I think different Devs have workflows/approaches to getting things done and it would be helpful to see some.

I’m interested in…
• Animations (in depth – not just for gaming but other types of apps as well)
• Handling Data (in depth)
• Xcode 4
• iOS5 (when the beta comes out)

It will be great a course where you build an app from start to finish with some video and multimedia

I would also like to see a course on building an app from start to finish.

“iPhone SDK Essential Training” was a good overview, but I didn’t think it went into as much detail as I would of liked. I know CSS and HTML but not OBJECTIVE C. Maybe a class on that would be good too.

I’d like to see a course in Art Design for iOS. As a programmer I could refer a graphic artist to it with tips on how to prep graphics, screen resolutions, icon sizes, vector vs. pixel graphics etc. Discussions of various media types including conceptual overview of HTML streaming.

Would love to see building an app start to finish – using Flash.

I would also like to see an entire course on creating an app from start to finish.

I would like more information about the basics. If someone want to learn and does not know anything about XCode where to begin? Perhaps you should have another course before “iPhone SDK Essential Training” or a series of programs wiht a clear path.

In the other hand, it would be great to have a clear and simple guide to know how to do simple things in a practical way like how to put a button or how to add another screen. This information exists in the cours but it is mixed with other things and for a beginner this complex and need too much time to separate the basic from the rest.
