Dycode Holds First iOS 6 Training Event in Asia
Only three days after the worldwide announcement of the iPhone 5, software developer Dycode [1] together with Indonesian Apple news blog MakeMac [2] as a media partner, held Asia’s first ever iOS 6 training event in Bandung, Indonesia. The event was called “Early Adopting iOS 6: Go home with your own iOS 6 app.” Interestingly, out of 35 participants, most of them came from outside Bandung, according to Kuswanto from MakeMac.
The participants were taught about Objective-C, and the discussion then went on to talk about the new maps API, social.framework, passKit.framework, reminders, camera API, UI state reservation, collection view, auto layout, and in-app hosted content. In the end, the participants went to build their own Twitter client with new iOS 6 features.
There are plans to follow-up this event by holding regular five-day intensive iOS trainings events in the near future. They are going to use Stanford University’s syllabus as a guide for the basic training material. Kuswanto says that they’re still working out the details at the moment.
We previously mentioned the new iOS 6 features and their availability here in Asia, which you can check out here.
We still don’t know when the newest iPhone 5 will arrive in Indonesia, but there are ways you can get them faster.
