Proper schooling for App Development?

Hi, I am curious to know if there are schools that major in app development? Or at least proper training to become an iOS developer? Through proper schooling like Universities or community colleges? I am in Las Vegas, NV and was wondering if they offer it here.  Or is it just a computer science degree and then pick up the programming language of iOS developing? Thanks in advance!

That is about as good as it gets.
Don't be fooled by media headlines and stock market reports. Apple has zero respect in universities or enterprise. If you want to write software for Apple products, you generally have to learn it on your own. There are books, online resources such as the ones K T mentioned, and especially Apple's own WWDC, but mostly you have to learn it on your own. One of the best ways to do that is to do all of your computer science assignments on your Mac. Make sure to test them either Linux or Windows before submitting. Your task will be easier (thanks to clang) and more pleasant (thanks to Xcode and the Mac). Your final result will be more correct and robust because you have gotten it working on multiple platforms.

  • What is the CIS number for app development?

    What is the CIS number for app development?

    In order to get your App on the App Store you need a DUNS #.  In order to get a DUNS # you need to register and they ask for the CIS, which is a number that classifies your business.

  • Panels in CS5 for app development?

    Are there any panels in CS5 created for mobile devices/Android app development? What are the commonly used tools/panels for app development?

    Nope, there no other panels needed when developing for android, the only difference is when outputting the file, you should just keep an eye on the library regarding filesize, although it's not very important you never know.
    Many other things in regards to performance can be taken care of, but none of them are in a specific panel ( code, caching bitmaps, filter usage.... etc)

  • Language for app development?

    Hello. I am going to design an app for iOS/Android/Windows Phone. I will be the concept/UI designer and will team up with a developer at a later date.
    What language should this be developed in, and what is the best way to make it accessible to all of those platforms?

    iOS = Xcode/Objective-C
    Other platforms:  ?
    I should say that there is no optimal way of developing for different platforms using the same code base.
    You might find some third party tools to do it but please don't come here when said third party tools cause problems with an iOS app.

  • Do you offer a price reduction for app developement for Non profits.

    We are developing Apps for our church and were looking at the cost of developing and Apple app.  We are a small church so do you offer any type of discounts for non profit apps.

    You are not addressing Apple here, only other users like yourself. You will need to contact Apple directly with this question.

  • What MAC Is Needed For App Development

    I need to purchase a Mac to develop apps on for college.  What is the minimum I can purchase to build, test, and debug my apps before release.  Should I purchase a new computer or will a used one be good to start with.  This will be my first mac, so any assistance will be helpful.

    Hey TechArtist, like you i reccently invested in my first ever mac. I got the standard macbook pro retina 13' late 2013 model. I have to tell you its a beauty. It is very light, thin, fast and perfect for xcode and other IDE's(such as eclipse, android studio and dreamweaver etc.). The screen is so AMAZING and it makes the code look so neat and crisp. My friend has the 2012 13' macbook pro so i know which one i like the most. Compared to mine his is slower then the newer model, not that light and as seeing you are a college student you might would want something light and thin. But seeing as you would like a cd drive unless you wont be using it often you might want to go for the 2012 one. There is a noticable difference in speed but its not a big gap. It really does come down to personal preference to be honest. Just go to the apple store and use each macbook for around 10-20 mins and see which one you'd like. Also i would reccommend not to get the macbook air as its not that great for developing (friend also has a macbook air).

  • Recommended Reading for App Development in iOS 5

    Good Afternoon...
    I've recently installed XCode 4.3.2 on my MacBook Pro as I am interested in learning application development for the iPhone and iPad.
    The extent of my programming experience is BASIC. I've browsed the on line tutorials and the books available at the local B&N. There is plenty to choose from but before I purchase anything, I thought I'd better ask.
    Can anyone recommend reading? I'm guessing that BASIC programming experience translates into no experience where this is concerned. I'd also be interested in hearing about any training courses on the subject.
    Thank you.

    Are you currently in a valid paid Individual Developer Account...?

    Honestly, become an Apple Developer.
    http://developer.apple.com/
    They have forums where you can ask questions, like "I need an App developer...HELP." Someone will point you to someone. Or volunteer.
    Also, LinkedIn has an iPad/iPhone developer group. I belong to a medical apps subgroup, and I can tell you there's a lot of "advertising" of skills and such. Moreover, LinkedIn gives you the chance to do some background checking.
    With these two groups, you will get the best of the best. Don't google for one. You'll get junk surrounding the few diamonds.

  • Looking for proper SIM card for applet development

    Hi,
    I would like to develop some applet on the SIM card. And does anyone know where I can get the proper SIM card?
    I have a bit search for test SIM card and blank SIM card, but I am not sure which one can be used for applet development. It seems that Gemalto provides some development suit that includes some sample cards. But the suit is too expensive and maybe I don't need the tools they provide. I don't want to buy the wrong one, so it would be very helpful if any of you has some provider information or links!!
    Thanks in advance!!

    I have a bit search for test SIM card and blank SIM card, but I am not sure which one can be used for applet development. Any Java SIM card can be used for applet development.
    maybe I don't need the tools they provide. You do as you will need a tool to install your applet on the SIM card
    I don't want to buy the wrong one, so it would be very helpful if any of you has some provider information or links!!Are you just want to write applications or wanna be able to install them too on real cards ? If the purpose is just writing of apps then oracle and ETSI have provided everything, you don't need to buy any additional tool. But yes for dubuging you will need some third party tool or write your own one : -)

  • Can I use macbook air for ios app development?

    I would like to know if i can use macbook air for ios app development or macbook pro is only option?

    Just to reinforce what shldr2thewheel says - be very sure what size memory you want if you get a Macbook Air. There is *no* way to change after purchase. My advice is to go for the 4GB option - especially if you want to do app development.
    The internal storage (solid state drive) of the Air can be upgraded if required but it will probably be an expensive option. If you don't think the storage will be enough then maybe using a USB connected drive to hold non-essential files is an option.
    As to deciding between the Air and Pro you are basically making a decision between portability (Air) and expandability/bigger screens (Pro). What is more important to you?

  • What is proper way to report suggestions for app features And bugs to Apple

    What is the proper way to report suggestions for app features to Apple? Or, do they even want suggestions?
    And, how about reporting app bugs? Should I just assume the bug is already known, or is there a way for (quickly) reporting them?

    I'm not sure about bugs in non-Apple apps, but bugs in Apple apps can be reported via this form:
