TESTIMONIALS
If you would like to truly understand the nuts and bolts of Objective-C programming languages and learn how to design a scalable iOS application, you have to take classes taught by Geppy. I have taken 3 specialized classes from him and as a result, I have a much deeper knowledge on Core Data, Core Animation, UI Design, and Instrumentations. His classes are not merely listening to abstract theories, but actually hands on. He answered many Objective-C questions that we students had and was very patient with our learning. Above all, I am very pleased with the classes and will continue to take more other classes from him.
- Wuthichai “Woody” Lee, PayPal, California
Geppy is an excellent instructor with extensive knowledge of the iOS SDK. The class was very helpful in learning iOS app development using the iOS SDK. Prior knowledge of OOP concepts and Objective-C is needed for effective learning from this class.
- Swati Das, Sr. Integration Engineer (PayPal), California
The training session was excellent in a number of ways. Firstly, iNVASIVECODE provided two booklets: one with the slides covered in class, and another one with detailed documentation provided in the slides. I liked this approach because I could get a high-level gist as to what is going on in the first booklet, and then zoom into the details in the second booklet. Secondly, it was a hands-on session where we developed mini-applications which utilized a variety of iOS frameworks. Thirdly, the trainers are subject matter experts in iOS programming, and comprehensively answered all of our questions. They also showed us some of the excellent applications they developed for their clients.
- Eyor Alemayehu, Software Engineer (PayPal), California
Geppy is a top notch instructor, an iOS virtuoso who selflessly shares his talent with emerging developers.

- Dennis Natochy, Senior Manager, Professional Services (PayPal), California
This is the best programming class I have ever taken. Geppy is very experienced in iOS development and has managed to transfer his knowledge to us in a very interesting and organized way. The post-training assignment is more work for him, but extremely beneficial to the trainees. Working on the assignment reinforced tremendously what I learned in the class. Now I’m definitely more confident in my iOS programming capability.
- Yifan Liu (PayPal), California
The 3-day course help me to pick up Objective-C and get to know iOS app development faster.
- Jia Feng (Tapjoy), California
Geppy was very knowledgeable on the iOS platform and development aspects. I came to the training with a less than qualified background in object-oriented and Objective-C concepts. Geppy worked with me to understand the basic principles, and then gave me the tools I needed to assist with my learning of these basic concepts, and still set the same goals for me as the rest of the class.
- Nick Cobb (FedEx Services), California
The knowledge I gained, both about app development and Xcode environment, is invaluable. Especially the tricks and tips and resources mentioned during the course were great additions to my knowledge.
- Muhammad Fahied (Intermedia), Oslo, Norway

- Emilien Vuillaume (Netinfluence), Switzerland
My expectations about this iOS training class were really high. I can say they exceeded! The teacher makes really easy developing for iOS. I came to the class with knowledge of iOS development, but thanks to the teaching methodology and the practice during the class, I got a good advanced level following the recommendation of the teacher. Additionally, the class is really personal, since the number of attendees is smaller in respect to other classes and you can learn more of what you need.
- Juan Manuel Altamirano (Telefonica), Spain
The iNVASIVECODE Team knows its business, in-depth iOS knowledge pouring out during the week-long course, sharp, complete and to the point answers to popping questions from different playing fields and expertise. The best iOS training so far. I've grown firm confidence to progress in serious iOS development. Highly recommended.
- Romano Finetti (Ministry of Defence), The Netherlands
I really enjoyed the course. It covered all of the aspects to develop iPhone applications. The course material was really good, so after the one week training I could go back to read, and get short examples of almost every part of the SDK. I recommend anyone who is interested in developing iOS applications to take this class.
- Danjel Nyberg (Bosch and Siemens Home Appliances Group), Sweden
Frequently Asked Questions
What is your average class size?
