Notes
Any iOS developer will benefit from this training, but we will focus more on those apps that are not games. For this event, there will be no deep game/graphics coverage (no OpenGL ES and no DirectX deep-dives).
This event is brought to you by the Microsoft Developer Platform Evangelism group and is free of charge. Attendees are responsible for booking and paying for their own travel and accommodation.
