New Course - IOS306 - 1-Day Understanding Auto Layout

In this one-day course, you will learn about Auto Layout, a system that allows you to layout your iOS application’s UI by creating a mathematical description of the relationships between the various elements in your app UI. Auto Layout is a tool that is very difficult for developers to get their heads around, but this course will make it simple for you to develop highly adaptable UI using Auto Layout in the shortest time ever.

At the end of the course, you would have a solid understanding of Auto Layout.

Training courses for your company

Looking for an in-house training to jumpstart your developers on a particular technology? We can help!

Our training methodology is simple - "you learn most when you have to do it". All our training courses focus heavily on hands-on training. Participants are expected to write code and learn how to debug their apps to make them work. Through this process of learning-by-doing, participants are able to absorb the topics quickly and get productive immediately.

If you have 5 developers or more, it would be economical for you to arrange for in-house training, where we can customize the topics based on your project requirements. If not, you can always send your staff to attend one of our many open enrolment courses:

We have successfully trained developers in the following regions:

• Singapore
• Thailand
• Norway
• Denmark
• United States of America (USA)
• Hong Hong
• Taiwan
• China
• Japan
• Indonesia

NEW COURSE - IOT101 – 2-Day Programming the Internet of Things (IOT) - $1897

Internet of Things (IoT) has been the buzzword for the recent years and is set to explode in the year of 2015. IoT is a network of objects or “things” that are interconnected by exchanging data with one another. These “things” are
typically sensors or devices that have their own dedicated uses – for example, motion sensors, gas sensors, beacons, barometers, etc. The real value of IoT is in the use of the data collected – analysis can be made on the data collected to analyze trends/shifts in atmospheric pressure, temperature, humidity, etc.

In this course, participants will learn how to build various IoT systems by using the Raspberry Pi as the base collection point. The Raspberry Pi is an excellent candidate for IoT projects because it can run a full Web server and database server. Participants will learn how to create projects that save the data onto MySQL databases, and access them remotely through the Web using the PHP programming language.

Course fee includes the IOT Starter Kit containing all the various sensors, devices, and Raspberry Pi used in the course. Participants will be able to bring back the IOT Starter Kit for their own use.

Topics
• Programming languages covered
    o Crash course on PHP and MySQL
    o Crash course on Python
• Systems you will build
    o How to build a Student Attendance System using NFC (Near Field Communication)
    o How to build a Proximity Sensing System using beacons
    o How to build a Surveillance System using Webcams
    o How to build a Smoke/Gas Detection System using smoke/gas sensors
    o How to build a Motion Detection System using motion sensor and pi-cam
    o How to build a Short Text Display System using LED panels and a breadboard
• You will learn
    o How to write data collected from devices into a MySQL database
    o How to access the data from the Web using PHP
    o How to write Python scripts to build the various IoT systems

Course Fee

S$1897 (nett; no GST)

New Xamarin Courses!

Due to the popular demand of the Xamarin courses, I have decided to redesign the courses so that they can better fit the needs of developers:

1. MOB102 - 1-Day Writing iOS Apps using Xamarin and C# - S$799
Who should attend?
Developers who are primarily interested in leveraging their C# skill set to build iOS apps. Developers will learn how to encapsulate their business logic in separate DLLs and use them in their iOS apps. DLLs can also be reused in Android apps.

2. MOB103 - 1-Day Writing Android Apps using Xamarin and C# - S$799
Who should attend?
Developers who are primarily interested in leveraging their C# skill set to build Android apps. Developers will learn how to encapsulate their business logic in separate DLLs and use them in their Android apps. DLLs can also be reused in iOS apps.

3. MOB104 - 1-Day Writing Cross Platform iOS and Android Apps using Xamarin.Forms and C# - S$799
Who should attend?
Developers who want to write apps that target Android and iOS platforms. Using a common set of UI elements from Xamarin.Forms, developers will be able to write their apps and run them on iOS and Android devices.

Developers who are interested to develop cross platform mobile apps are strongly advised to take the three courses. Participants who register for the three courses can enjoy a discount course fee of S$2,000 for the three courses.
