"When we can attract people who are celebrities in their field to teach our bootcamps, we know that our hard work and commitment to excellence has paid off. Students who treat themselves to the chance to work with Steve will be glad they did." The course is multi-layered and covers a great deal of information in a short period of time, so students should come prepared to work and more importantly, to learn.

- Understanding Class, Objects, and Methods and a brief introduction to OOP programming
- Writing a first program in Objective-C
- Understanding data types and expressions
- Using basic controls for looping, decision-making, etc.
