We'll take a tour through the new tools used to create application, as well as, learn the basics of Objective-C. With each feature shown we'll try to relate or compare it back to things familiar to all of us in Flash and ActionScript. By the end of the workshop attendees should feel confident to go and start learning how to create iPhone applications on their own. Requirements: In order to properly follow along please have a Intel based Mac laptop with the Apple Developer tools and Iphone SDK installed.

Detractors say that Flash isn't search engine friendly; Screen readers can't understand Flash content; You can't deeplink to specific pages... You know what? They're wrong. These criticisms are symptoms of misunderstanding by developers on the ways different technologies work together. This workshop will show you how to take a higher level approach focusing on user experience. We'll break down each common critique of Flash, one at a time, and show you how to address them in your work. Attendees will learn how to use HTML, CSS, PHP, JavaScript, XML and Flash to compliment each other in creating the most meaningful experience to the widest audience range. The goal is to feel comfortable making decisions about when and how to use Flash appropriately and to gracefully degrade immersive experiences for Flash disabled devices (like iPhones and iPads). 1498 PA How to build an experience for all types of users (human or otherwise).
