I am going to China for two weeks to take care of some family stuff, and wanted to make the best of my time there. I'd love to be able to come back with as much iOS development knowledge as possible.
People have talked a lot about free video tutorials, paid lessons, etc, I'm wondering what you guys think is the best option for me!
Also any great CSS/Design tutorials are welcome too :).
Thanks!
I would strongly recommend downloading all the videos as well as Xcode 4.2 before you leave for China. The files are quite large and I hear it's a long plane ride. Sign up for the iOS developer program if you have not already - you can't build to your device otherwise. [4]
Feel free to shoot me an email (contact in profile) if you get stuck on something - I might be able to point you in the right direction.
Finally, learning to program iOS apps may not be your best use of time on a trip to China. Even if you are able to go often catching up with what is going on generally and what people are doing/using in the mobile space is probably a better use of your time while there. I know I would not be writing code if was able to take that trip and perhaps even speak the language.
