[Year 12 IT Apps] developing Games for the iPhone and iPod Touch

Thu May 13 12:49:25 EST 2010

All

Had a very interesting and extended conversation with an Apple tech at
ACEC. He explained to me in great detail the process and skills required
to make, produce and even test apps on iPhones.

It's not that easy. (and be legal).

If anyone is interested in more details. Just call. It would take me
1/2hr to type it out here.

Cheers

Hi Adrian,

It doesn't matter what the cost breakdowns are. I can't make $100 per
year for pd stretch to $750, regardless of the value for money or the
hourly rate.

I have well and truly used up my goodwill with admin by doing the
Markbook Course which is essential to school operations, not just a whim
that I might be interested in.

I am well aware that VITTA etc are increasingly aware of the cost of
sessions and resources and I hope you can reassure me that as a
representative professional body VITTA are raising these issues on our
behalf to DEECD and the lamentable VIT.

Thanks

Cameron

Hi Geoff and Geraldine,

With respect, how is $750 exorbitant for a 10 week course?  This is a
course with each session being 2 hours duration - so the cost is $75 per
day or $32.50 per hour.  As much as possible, we do try to run events
with the smallest possible cost - however, at the same time, VITTA (like
every other organisation) needs to remain viable. 

Cheers,

Adrian

Pity once again that exorbitant pricing is offputting. Otherwise it
sounds very interesting and worthwhile.
