I was reading the ByteClub blog (That’s just a GREAT company name) and stumbled upon this great post by Peter. I could copy that post verbatim, but figured I’d just mention the highlights.
Let’s start with the title of the post:
“Stating the obvious: Now is the time to learn iPhone development”
We here at 360Conferences thought so and hence why we decided to do a conference so quickly.
“Job offers in this particular field seem to be on the rise.”
In this troubled economy, any field that has job offers on the rise is the field you want to be in. Period. Doubt Peter is right? Check out this site: http://1984jobs.com/
“That is, if you got the skills.”
That’s where 360|iDev is hoping to come into play. For $200 (if you act quick, $350 if you hold out longer) you can enjoy 6 hands-on sessions and roughly 40 speaker led sessions. Imagine that. Being able to find the skills necessary to launch a new career in these troubled times for under the price of a new XBox 360 or PS3. Heck, it will cost you more money to buy the device that you will be developing on than it is to pay for your admission to the show.
(Yes, I realize that total cost will include hotel, travel, etc. But any conference/training will and if you’re resourceful, you can get that for cheap too. We’re even trying to help by facilitating this wiki.)
One of the purposes of 360|iDev is to get the iPhone development community together. We think it is better to learn from one another and build on each other’s successes. Come mingle with people who will likely become lifelong twitter friends, people who will help you learn to be successful in this great new platform.
Sure, we could be trying to charge more for this show. And to be honest, we initially were going to. But we realized that times are tough and it’s more important to get folks here learning than it is for us to make a killing in profit.
So do us a favor and help us spread the word. We have only a few weeks left, but we have the room and the speakers to help folks out. People can register at:
