Starting on Sunday 15th April (Tax Day) we will be starting the Stanford University's "iPad and iPhone Application Development (HD)" course by Paul Hegarty at FUBAR.  The series will run for 9 weeks from 19:00 - 22:30 every Sunday, but you can also follow along remotely using the material at the link below.  

The purpose of running as a study group is so we can help each other learn this complex topic.  At the end of the 9 weeks we will then look at developing a project using the skills we have learnt.

Each of the Stanford videos runs between 60-80 minutes, and there are 19 in total.  The time would be structured as follows:

  • 19:00-19:15 Welcome, Setup and Q&A from last week's session
  • 19:15-20:30 First Video (timings heron will differ due to the different video timings)
  • 20:30-20:45 Bio break & Q&A
  • 20:45-22:00 Second Video
  • 22:00-22:30 Final Q&A

You can find the course details here: http://itunes.apple.com/itunes-u/ipad-iphone-application-development/id473757255

We will be setting up a remote cameras for those who can't attend in person, but they can watch the videos at their own location.  The first session will be different from the others as I will be giving a presentation of an overview of the technologies we will use, and we will only have pine video on that day.

What you will need:

  • A Mac that has:
    •  OS X 10.7.x installed
    • XCode 4.3.2+ installed
  • An iOS Device (iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch) that has:
    • iOS 5.x

We will provide a Mac Mini at FUBAR for attendees that don't have access to a Mac, but the rest of the equipment you will need to provide.  

This is a free course; we are simply making the space available so that we can view, review and discuss the material provided by Stanford University.

Media_httpfarm8static_woabr

The Fubarino is a Arduino inspired ChipKit compatible pic32 board with
SD card. The SD card allows for class files, programmers, and
everything to be preloaded on the board. You can then copy all those
materials off and program the Fubarino, and even take a class with
provided materials. This solves many problems for teaching and
learning Arduino. Get up and running quick with this board.

The specs are amazing 80mhz, 32K of RAM, 128K of Flash, 3.3v,
43 digital I/O pins of which 15 are configured as Analog. Built in SD Card,
and real time clock for data logging. If you wire up a network adapter you
can create a logging web server.

Tonight, Tuesday, Jan 3rd, at 7pm Javier Rosa from Tekla Labs will be presenting at FUBAR.  Anyone is welcome to attend.  Click here for parking and directions. 
 
From Javier Rosa:
Tekla Labs will be announcing a 3D Printer Design Competition at FUBAR
labs. Some of the designs already produced by us and affiliates will
be presented. I will demonstrate the Cell-Scope, a cell-phone based
microscope constructed of 3D printed parts as well as off-the-shelf
components, and a centrifuge built from an egg-beater! More plans and
information are available at: http://teklalabs.org/ and more
information about the Cell-Scope is available here:
http://cellscope.berkeley.edu/. Note that the competition hasn't been
announced on our website yet so FUBAR will likely be the first outside
group to hear about it. 

Tekla Labs is a University of California student run organization
whose goal is to address the needs of researchers in developing
countries in need of quality lab equipment. Tekla Labs is developing
the plans necessary to build and test this equipment out of commonly
available local materials or cheaply imported materials. Though in its
early stage, Tekla Labs has already generated excitement from
laboratories in such diverse places as Egypt and Panama.

Basic Electronics 

Saturday 11/5/11 1PM - 4PM

This class is for anyone who wants to take the first step into hobby
electronics, or took a class in Arduino and would like to refresh
their basic electronics knowledge.  We will teach you how to prototype
simple circuits and help you to understand how they work.  There is an
extensive electronic kit for the class. The kit is entirely compatible
with our beginning Arduino class, just lacks the Arduino.

Please sign up by Wednesday midnight because we are ordering
electronics for the class, or contact us by then about your intent to
take the class.
