Learn to build iPhone and iPad applications with Swift, one of the most popular and important new programming languages. We literally wrote the book on app development with Swift, and we'd love to share our knowledge with you. Our workshops include three days of tuition, printed and electronic course materials, follow-up assistance, and a certificate of completion.

We're offering "Pay What You Can Afford" for the first time ever! It's a good opportunity to get into Swift programming for iOS, or learn the new stuff. We're doing this because we took advantage of so many similar opportunities when we were learning, and we think it's a good opportunity to give back.

Secret Lab's intensive three day workshop is designed for programmers who are proficient with any modern, object-oriented language, such as Java, C++, C#, Python, Ruby, or similar. No knowledge of Swift, Objective-C, or the Apple frameworks is required. This iOS Developer Training Workshop will teach the latest, best practices for iOS 11 development using Swift 4.

You can pay literally whatever you want A$1+ or more. Eventbrite will add a booking fee of 4.5% of your nominated price + A$0.99, which goes to Eventbrite.

You can find me on Twitter (@parisba) or here if you have questions, but feel free to email me too: [email protected]

Thanks <3

    I think it's booking fee (which, if you paid $1 is $1.04, for a total of $2.04)! But feel free to bring your partner, of any variety, if they also register :)

  Any chance of a remote session?

  • 

    AssociatedDrParis @ secretlab.com.au on 17/08/2017 - 16:30

    It's hard for us to run remote sessions by ourselves, but we work with our publisher O'Reilly do it. Our next one is: https://www.safaribooksonline.com/live-training/courses/adva…

    This session requires a membership to Safari (https://www.safaribooksonline.com — it's basically a Netflix model for books/training videos/live online training), but they have a trial and you can use that to attend training (just watch the time period of the trial vs. the dates of the training you want vs. the signup window for the training).

      Okay… even with a service like WebEx?

        Sadly the customer service requirements of doing most of it ourselves are a little over our heads, e.g. if tech fails and such. We've tried in the past and it's just too hard. We will look at it again in the future though.

  Pay what you can afford + OzB.

  Dangerous combo.

    Our class has a fixed maximum size, but yeah… :)

  The difficulty with this pricing model/offer is that maybe you can afford $500, so you pay that. Then you discover it's actually a negative value because it's a waste of time. Maybe you should ask everyone to pay $1, then at the end, ask them to top it up to the lower of what they can afford or it's perceived value.

    We’ve considered a bunch of options, but it boils down to: it costs us about $5,000 to run the training, plus a little more in personnel and such, so we rely on enough people paying regular prices or paying more than regular via the Pay what you want system.

    It shakes out that enough people pay the normal price, and enough others pay more than it via the pay what you want, we make about what we’d make if we did it without the pay what you want system & a bunch of people who otherwise couldn’t afford this sort of training manage to attend :)

  Would the learning curve be too steep for a non-programmer or someone that has very little knowledge of any other languages?

  • 

    AssociatedDrParis @ secretlab.com.au on 18/08/2017 - 11:14

    Depends entirely on what the "very little knowledge" entails TBH. What experience do you have?

      I took a c++ class at uni about a decade ago, that’s basically all my experience other than cobbling together a few websites using HTML and a tiny bit of JavaScript since then.

  Did anyone here end up attending this course? Keen to hear how it went.
