iPhone Objective-C with Java Web Services

iPhone development is all the rage both in the mobile entertainment, social networking, and productivity application spaces. As a Java developer, prepare yourself to be a participant in aspects of this new breed and platform of development. Hop on board with a quick start to iPhone application coding in Objective-C and integration with some of our favorite Java web service back-ends such as RESTful Grails.

We'll build out a graphical demo application on the iPhone that depends on and responds to data from a Java web service; then we'll deploy it live to the desktop simulator, and finally, a real iPhone. This presentation will make you conversant in iPhone development procedures and able to make smart decisions about your back end Java web services ability to serve data to iPhone native client apps.
