iPhone Dev School gives aspiring developers tools for App Store success

Posted by Liam Britten on 2010-10-08 3:13:00 PM

School’s in session at the University of Calgary, and not just for students pursuing a degree — if you are an aspiring app developer for iPhone, you are invited to learn a thing or two at Michael Sikorsky’s iPhone Dev School at the U of C from October 23–24.

Michael Sikorsky is an iPhone developer who co-founded Robots & Pencils with his wife Camille. Robots & Pencils is Sikorsky’s sixth start-up, and his other five have been sold for profit. Sikorsky has raised over $10 million for his ventures over the years and has been praised by CNN and Profit magazine for his start-ups, particularly Cambrian House, a crowdsourcing website.

At iPhone Dev School, Sikorsky will impart some of his wisdom about not only making apps, but getting them picked up by Apple’s App Store and even finding investors. A full list of topics discussed can be found here (along with more information about the event), but they include:

  • Objective-C, XCode and InterfaceBuilder
  • Distribution
  • Analytics
  • Anti-piracy
  • Memory leaks
  • Compression

At Robots and Pencils, we love to make things for the iPhone, Web and Desktop. Making things is where it all begins in on our little company but not where it all ends. We also rent our brains, teach courses and angle invest. It may seem like a lot for a 2-person husband-and-wife team but we’re inspired by 37signals philosophy of doing more with less. Robots and Pencils was founded by Michael and Camille Sikorsky.... more
