App School - Upcoming courses |
Upskilling is one of the best ways to make your CV stand out from the crowd, in today's increasingly competitive job market. By selecting a specific skill that you want to specialise in, you can make yourself invaluable to current and future employers. Today's digital industry is moving quickly and it can be hard to keep up. This is made easier with learning programmes such as
App School, a five day course that teaches you everything you need to know to build and distribute iPhone apps.
So you might be asking - what is an iPhone app and why would I want to build one?
iPhone apps are the applications that are available on Apple's iPhone. Popular Irish apps include Encyclopedia, Extra! Extra! and Ireland's Phone Book. iPhone applications are published on Apple's iPhone App Store and can be downloaded by users for free, or you can choose to charge per download. More and more companies are building iPhone apps for their business, as they recognise them as a unique way to target and engage with customers.
With the right skills and training you can put together a professional iPhone application, either working as a freelance developer or employed on a permanent basis. Once you know your way around it, the system is fun and relatively easy to use. You can find out more about the type of apps available in the iPhone App Directory.
App School is one course that teaches you everything you need to know to build and distribute iPhone apps. The courses run regularly in Dublin, with a course due to open in Cork later in the year. The course runs for 5 days and is taught by Daniel Heffernan—a leader in his field. The course normally costs €1,500 but there is a 50% discount for students and the unemployed, as the people who run the courses want to provide a cost-effective option for those looking to improve their CV and get back on the job market. There's more information available on the App School website. The course does require that you have basic object-oriented programming experience (such as C++, Java or C#).
John Long, who attended the first course says "I applied to App School with only a year of basic C# programming experience. Whilst some of the concepts involved in programming for the iPhone were new to me, with Daniel's help I was able to make sense of them. My week at App School gave me the knowledge I needed to begin working on my first app. Hopefully, the first of many!"
Past students at App School have been approached by companies looking to develop their iPhone apps, which demonstrates the huge market out there for people with specialist skills.
If you're interested in registering for App School, full details are available on their site
www.appschool.ie and there's still places available at their next Dublin course, which runs from 12th-16th October.
