Digital transition agency, immedia will once again be conducting their nationwide app dev training sessions this at a city near you. They are on a mission to up-skill SA‘s developers and help expose the innovation and possibilities associated with app dev.
The training courses, which will take place in Cape Town, Durban and Johannesburg, teaches participants the necessary skills to contribute in what can only be described as a fast-growing and incredibly competitive digital market. In a joint venture with akosma software, these formalised training courses were born out of a desire to enhance mobile app development skills amongst the dev community in the country and will be conducted by professional trainers from Switzerland and South Africa, who are experts in their field.
In a world moving rapidly towards digital convenience, this training aims to build local talent and position South African developers as digital power-players. Developer Martin Kirsten, who attended the iOS Advanced course said, “œThe training was outstanding! Adrian is an excellent instructor. He combined technical knowledge with practical tips and tricks, which is invaluable.“
In 2008, immedia recognised that the app dev revolution was well on its way to reaching South African shores, and began training their developers at Apple‘s annual Worldwide Developers Conference in San Francisco – a risk that needed to be taken and a tradition that has been upheld for the past five years. B
ecause of this firsthand training, immedia‘s developers have been trained in both a technical and nuanced understanding of the Apple iOS ecosystem and are able to impart the latest app dev trends and knowledge with participants. Web developer Ross Symons attended our iOS Beginners course, adds, “œThe course was really great. I feel quite prepared to start building my first iPhone app… I feel that immedia is providing a great service by offering a course like this. I will recommend it to people interested in such a course.“
