In this introductory session, we won’t teach you objective-c but we will give you a high level overview of the world of iOS development and how to get involved. We’ll introduce the various tools used in making iPhone and iPad applications and discuss the new features in iOS 7. Lastly, we’ll finish up with a demo, building a simple app and illustrating some of the features in Xcode, the primary tool used in developing iOS Apps.
