I spent most of today giving a training course on iPhone development at FullSail. I think the presentations and tutorials I put together were fairly useful. The purpose of the class was to take someone from never touching iPhone development, and some of them never touching a Mac, to getting a few simple applications up and running in a short amount of time. I covered just the absolutely required objective-C constructs and explained more about how memory allocation works as I went along. The whole alloc/init/retain/release thing is difficult for people just starting out to really grasp.

As nervous as I was going into this, I feel it came off pretty well. Now to get back to my comfy zone with DirectX =^..^=
