Core Data Overview: Adding Core Data to our application to decrease development time and improve functionality
In this session we will review what Core Data is and why we would want to use it in our Cocoa development efforts. We will then dive into the fundamentals of the API and how to integrate it into our applications.
We will wrap up the session with some best practices and issues to avoid.
Marcus Zarra
Outside of Apple, there are very few people with a better understanding of Core Data than Marcus Zarra. He has not only written the book on Core Data, he has been doing iPhone, and now iPad, development as long as it has been possible to do so, and Mac programming for even longer. Marcus is the co-author of the programming blog Cocoa Is My Girlfriend. Marcus co-wrote Core Animation for Addison Wesley. Marcus is the owner of Zarra Studious where he builds Mac, iPhone, and iPad software.

iOS - Apple devices out of the pocket and out in the real world.
The iPhone is a revolutionary phone, but more importantly it is a revolutionary PLATFORM. With Apple rebranding the operating system to iOS and the pressure but on by Google to extend Android. Will this mean that iOS will be more than just iPhones and iPads? We'll cover using the iPhone OS based devices in non-tradional environments and in non-traditional ways. Both jailbroken and non-jailbroken implementations will be covered.
Chris Hughes
Chris spends the daytime hours hacking on small computers like the iPhone and Android based devices. His internet fame grew when his exploits of the first generation iPhone were made public. Being featured on the front page from reddit to the Wall Street Journal. Chris has worked as a mobility engineer at Google, and in a twist of irony, later went on to join AT&T. Give Chris a soldering gun, and a compiler and watch a number of voided warranties evolve into something cool.
14:15 - 15:05

True Tales of the Apps Store: Making iPhone Apps for profit (not just for fun!)
The iPhone App Store is a "hit-driven" market; apps that manage to rise to the top of the sales charts get extra exposure for free and end up with the lion's share of sales, while any app outside of the top 50 in its category will be practically invisible to anyone casually browsing the store. This seminar will present a variety of real-life scenarios featuring apps that have made it big, or tanked, or both. Can you break even on selling iPhone apps? The answer is definitely, maybe!
Jack Nutting
Jack Nutting has been using Cocoa since the olden days, long before it was even called Cocoa. He's used Cocoa and its predecessors to develop software for a wide range of industries and applications including gaming, graphic design, online digital distribution, telecommunications, finance, publishing, and travel. When he's not working on Mac, iPhone, or iPad projects, he's developing web applications with Ruby on Rails. Jack is a passionate proponent of Objective-C and the Cocoa frameworks.
