3. Intermediate iPhone - an in-depth look at Objective-C, deploying Apps, using hardware features such as camera, accelerometer and GPS, creating compelling UI with UIKit, introduction to networking, using data from external sources.

4. Advanced iPhone - advanced Objective-C, Core Data, advanced networking and data exchange using XML and/or JSON. Securing your data on the device and over the network.

5. Designing for iPhone/iPad - learn how to take advantage of the built-in features of the iPhone and iPad, how to use gestures and create custom gestures, prototyping - how to make wireframes and mock-ups.
