Announcing RubyMotion Trainings

Your mileage may vary. I'm a Ruby developer who picked up RubyMotion. I was up and running and productive with it within days, and after a month of part-time work my first app (which isn't extremely complicated but is by no means trivial) is nearly complete.

I knew neither Ruby nor Objective-C when I started (though I do know a few other languages, primarily JavaScript) and was able to begin legitimately understanding both within just a few days. I feel that, if needed, I could begin writing in pure Obj-C, though I don't think that that will ever be needed due to how seamless it is to integrate 3rd party Obj-C libraries into RM, as well as its Interface Builder support. Plus --and this is what I find most important -- writing in Ruby is just plain fun.

All in all, it was one of the most enjoyable development experiences of my life. Can't recommend RubyMotion highly enough.

I understand the initial feeling, but then: $2500 for a 5 days course, targeting mostly people that sell themselves between $100 and $200 per hour.

It's going to sell like hotcakes, in my opinion.

The relation cost-benefit seems pretty good. You are going to spend 500 USD per day to charge 150 USD per hour. Also, the quality of the instructors is something worth it.
