Stage 1 of Operation App Launch begins on Tuesday, April 5, at 6:00 PM in the Rhododendron Room of the Mountainlair. Student App developers will present an informational session on App designing. Pizza will be provided and no technical experience is necessary to attend. We hope that this can be a match making session to allow students with ideas to meet those with coding experience.
Stage 2 will be a coding workshop beginning Friday, April 15 at 5:00 pm and continuing on Saturday, April 16. Students will instructed by Mark Dalrymple, the principal author of ” Learn Objective-C on the Macintosh” and ” Advanced Mac OS X Programming” He is a veteran of several startups and has been a technical reviewer for several iPhone/iPad programming books. Students will learn the coding necessary for app development. The workshop will take place in the Mac lab in 116 Woodburn so it is not necessary to have your own Mac to attend. Registration is necessary as space is limited. Registration is $10.00 but lunch on Saturday, is included.
Stage 3 will be an App Challenge. Students either individually or with a partner, who participated in at least one of the previous stages, may submit a video of their completed or nearly completed app. The winning student or team will receive an iPad 2. Challenge details and rules will be provided at the earlier workshops. Deadline for submission May 13th.
