[OT] Ruby-to-iPhone programming class

[Dan Grigsby]

Hi,

It's Dan Grigsby of the iPhone dev community site Mobile Orchard.
This is a bit off-topic, but as a fellow Rubyist I'm hoping for a
smidgeon of leeway:

I'll be teaching the Mobile Orchard Beginning iPhone Programming
Workshop in LA on November 19-20. Class synopsis: Ruby programmer
(or PHP, Python, Java or .NET) to iPhone programmer in two days.

Intensive two day class. Leave with seven compact, but complete
iPhone apps that use Core Location, Core Data, navigation UIs, shake,
undo/redo, web services and hybrid web/native UIs. Memory management,
properties, protocols and categories exercises. 3.0SDK. Small class
size, experienced instructor. From Mobile Orchard, the #1 iPhone
developer news site and podcast.

Details/registration:

I used to title this class "Beginning iPhone Development For
Rubyists," but later broadened it. That said, I'm a Rubyist at heart
-- I've got patches in Merb, helped start the Minneapolis Ruby group,
spoke at RubyFringe, etc. While I haven't checked with him, Greg
Borenstein, lately of NY but longtime of Portland Ruby and Arduino
fame would likely vouch for me. I like having Rubyists in the class,
so if you register with a "ruby" discount code I'll knock a couple
hundred bucks off the price.

Hoping my good-standing and contributions to the Ruby, iPhone, and
startup communities offsets any feather-ruffling that me pitching the
class to the list might elicit. In addition to keeping my kids in new
shoes and fruit snacks, the class generates the income that enables
work on the site and podcast full-time.

Thanks,

Dan

I'm really sorry, but I included the wrong date/city. It should be
Portland on November 12-13. That's really bad form on my part.
Really sorry.

FYI: if you planning on attending my Beginning iPhone Programming
class the last day to register with the early registration discount is
Friday. In Seattle and SF, the last two places I held the class, it
filled up on the last "early bird" day. It's $799 (down from $1200)
if you get the early registration price and use the "ruby" discount
code.

There's a couple of tickets left for our Web-to-iPhone programmer
class on Thursday and Friday of this week if you want to attend --
it's $899 with last-minute rush pricing and the "cocoaheads" discount
code. Details:
