OpenGL iPhone Class. Superstar Instructor. Conference Discount.
By I’m pleased to announce Mobile Orchard Workshops’ iPhone OpenGL Programming Class.
Developed and taught by gaming industry veteran and iPhone indie game developer Noel Llopis, this two day class is specifically designed to teach Cocoa-Touch/UIKit iPhone programmers how to create high-performance, 2D and 3D OpenGL applications on the iPhone.
We’re holding the inaugural class in Denver on September 26-27 just ahead of the 360iDev Conference. See below for details on how to save $300 — or over $500 if you register early — when you attend both!
The Pitch
The class emphasizes practical knowledge and working code. You’ll write OpenGL apps showing 2D and 3D object rendering, animation, lighting, multitexturing, and point sprites. You complete the class with a solid basis in OpenGL that will allow you to learn more advanced topics on your own from the documentation and browsing the API.
The Instructor
Getting Noel is a real coup. Jeff LaMarche, author of Beginning iPhone Development, said of him:
You’d be hard pressed to find someone who understands the mathematics of 3D graphics or how to use that knowledge to create great iPhone games better than Noel.
He created the Flower Garden app, and his console and PC game titles include The Bourne Conspiracy, Darkwatch, MechAssault 2, MechAssault, Battleship: Surface Thunder and Missile Command.
He writes a monthly column for Game Developer Magazine. His book, C++ For Game Programmers, rates 4.5/5 at Amazon. His blog, Games From Within, turns up second (after Wikipedia) when searching for game programmer on Google!
Discounted 360iDev Class — Sept 26-27 in Denver
We’re holding the workshop on Sept 26-27, the two days before the 360iDev Conference. It’s in the same hotel, and the discounted room-rate for conference attendees applies.
We’re big fans of the 360iDev conference, so we’re offering $300 discount to conference attendees — register with the “360” discount code. You’ll save over $500 and pay only $999 when you combine early registration and the conference discount!
