BCIT Comp 3906 – Burnaby Course starts tommorrow!

Hello Comp 3906 (Burnaby Course),

Looking forward to getting started tomorrow night. We are in SE12 room 307 and will be starting at 6:30 sharp. I’ll be sending out emails to your BCIT account to allow you to take part in the iPhone Developer University Program. I would encourage all of you to take part. It’s free, and it will give you access to the software and tools you’ll need from Apple to publish real Apps to your iPhone or iPod Touch.

We’ll be going through all the administrative stuff for the course, setting up Xcode and provisioning devices tomorrow. We’ve got a pretty full class. so if you’ve got a favorite seat, I’d recommend showing up a bit early.

For those taking the Vancouver(DTC) course, we’ll be getting started on Saturday from 9-12. I’ll also be emailing you to invite you to join in the iPhone Developer University Program, but I’ll most likely do this on Friday morning.

Hello Comp 3906,

I’m looking forward to getting started next week and I’m sure you are too. Both the Burnaby and Vancouver courses are a go!

Here are a few things you can do to prepare yourself for the first class.

1. Go to http://tuvix.apple.com/iphone/ and register for a free account. You don’t have to sign up for the $99 developer program if you’re not ready yet.
2. You can download the latest iPhone SDK if you want (3.1 is the most current at this point in time).
3. If you are new to the Mac, check out the Mac 101 tutorials I posted on the blog earlier and play with your new computer, it really doesn’t take long to get comfy.
4. Don’t forget to bring your power cord, Intel based Mac laptop, iPod Touch or iPhone and your USB sync cord.
5. Log into my.bcit.ca and find out what your BCIT email address is. This is one way I will communicate with you this semester.
6. Check your location, times and room numbers, which are posted here http://www.bcit.ca/study/courses/comp3906
