This event is SOLD OUT. Thank you to everyone that registered in advance!
With the flurry of iPhone training heating up we thought we'd score a bonus round with our next iPhone maverick Nick Campbell.
Nick Campbell is flying to Winnipeg to share one of the most important iPhone development secrets of all: getting paid.
Producing an app may sound simple enough if you're a wide-eyed
optimistic thinking your idea will crack open the iPhone millionaire
honeypot. But creating an app that sells can be altogether different and requires some thought into how you're going to promote it.
Nick Campbell is a designer and has worked as an animator and creative
director for campaigns such as Puma, PBS Kids, and the Blackberry Bold.
He blogs and hosts regular tutorials over at GreyscaleGorilla.com. Nick is an educator, lecturer, the creator of ShakeItPhoto for the iPhone, and an all round swell guy.
That's why we've asked him to give you the first hit free.
Prior to our day-long training on Design your iPhone App and Get Paid,
Nick is going to spend an evening talking about being a paid creative.
His knowledge and stories will be of particular interest to graphic
designers, animators, photographers, motion graphic artists, students,
and those of us that wonder if freelancing from a groovy apartment in
Osborne Village can result in long term success.
His complimentary talk will be held Tuesday, February 2, 2010, at 1000 Waverley Street from 7 pm - 9 pm. There is no charge for Tuesday's event and all are welcome. You can register here.
In the spirit of being creative and getting paid, we are continuing our day-long training session with Nick on Wednesday, February 3, at 1000 Waverley Street from 9 am - 4 pm.
Cost is $49.95 and includes breakfast and lunch. You won't find more
value for your day and you're guaranteed to leave with numerous gems of
information you can use in planning your next iPhone app. You can register here.
See below for more details on Nick's day long event, as well as some key info on two other iPhone events just around the corner...

GAME GOD
Our first iPhone event begins on January 22, 2010 with the much celebrated pixel game designer Adam Saltsman.
Adam has developed and co-created over 13-games both online and for the
Apple iPhone and has stirred a media frenzy in such publications as
Edge Magazine, IGN, Kotaku, MTV Multiplayer, Boing Boing, and PC Gamer.
On January 22, Adam will share his methodology for creating
successful iPhone games that have netted over $500,000 in independent
sales. He will describe how he conceptualizes and prototypes games, and
his chronic attention to design and sound.
Adam will present a case study for the 2009 hit " Canabalt" that earned him no less 650,000 players in less than 5-days and how his iPhone game " Wurdle"
became a top-10 classic on the iTunes Store. He will also share the
social media strategy that has attracted oodles of ravenous players
from around the world to his gaming multiverse.
This presentation is ideally suited toward game developers,
students and educators, ad agencies, creatives, and programmers
interested in game development for mobile devices.
Adam's flixel API, an open source flash game library, has been
embraced by both beginners and veterans and earned Adam a place on Game
Developer Magazine's inaugural Top-50 Developers list alongside Apple's
Steve Jobs and Will Wright (Creator of Spore & The Sims).

App Store Staff Favourite which turns your iPhone into the perfect
Polaroid.

iPHONE DEVELOPMENT BOOTCAMP
We round out our iPhone Marketing with the most comprehensive 5-day iPhone Developer Course ever offered in Canada from Big Nerd Ranch.
Let me speak quite plainly when I say that Big Nerd Ranch's Bootcamp is
recognized as the most comprehensive and influential iPhone course in
the world. Their list of clients and students include Pixar, Google, and Apple (to name a few).
Our trainer from Big Nerd Ranch will be Scott Ritchie.
Scott Ritchie
has been developing and teaching Objective-C since he joined NeXT
Computer in 1990. Prior to that time he was an engineer at Sun
Microsystems working on window systems. Since 2000 he has held several
training and engineering positions with Apple, most recently working
with both AppKit and UIKit development. When the Fortune 500 companies
of the world need an iPhone trainer, they call Big Nerd Ranch and ask
for Scott Ritchie.
This week long course normally starts at $4200 for registration
plus flight and hotel. But thanks to the generous support from the
Province of Manitoba and Entrepreneurship, Training & Trade,
Manitobans can take this course for just $1,495.
We at New Media Manitoba have worked for 2-years to offer this
kind of top-tier iPhone development training at little cost. If I had a
dollar for every time someone asked me if I knew of someone locally
that develops for the iPhone I would be a hundred-naire! :) We are
excited to promote you as part of an exclusive group of iPhone
application developers in Manitoba.
The course is ideally suited for programmers that already have some experience with Obective-C and Cocoa.
Upon completion of the iPhone Bootcamp,
you receive exclusive access to Big Nerd Ranch's private developer
board where you have access to all the students Big Nerd Ranch has ever
trained (in the thousands) and can ask questions of their trainers. You will also be
profiled on New Media Manitoba's upcoming website relaunch as an
iPhone specialist.
Cost: $1,495
Time: 8 am - 5 pm, March 1 -5
Place: 1000 Waverley St., Winnipeg, MB
