MOB101 - Writing Cross Platform iOS and Android Apps using Xamarin and C#

In this 3-day workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of building cross-platform mobile apps targeting iOS and Android devices using Xamarin and C#. Using the Xamarin Studio or Visual Studio, you can now write iOS and Android apps using your familiar C# language. When you are ready to deploy your apps, the Xamarin compiler will compile your app into the native binary for each platform. The end result is you have a first class application that is optimized for the respective platform that it is compiled for.

This course has been fully updated to use the new Xamarin 3.

IOS102 - Learn Swift Programming

Apple announced the new Swift programming language at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2014. The aim of Swift is to replace the incumbent Objective-C language with a modern language and at the same time without worrying too much about the constraints of C compatibility.

Swift is designed with the following goals in mind:

* Fast to develop with

* Easy to debug

* Code safety

* Familiarity with existing programming language syntax

This fast-paced 2-day course will help you learn the new programming language developed by Apple through numerous code examples.

Getting Started with Pebble Development

I have written an article on getting started with Pebble apps development at MobiForge.com. 

Here is an abstract of the article: 

"Pebble is a smartwatch developed by Pebble Technology Corporation. It is one of the most successful Kickstarter projects to-date and has received significant successes with consumers. The Pebble watch itself comes with a black-and-white e-paper display, and includes several sensors such as magnetometer, ambient light sensor, and an accelerometer."
