Live Webinar: Use AppCode to Develop for the Pebble Smartwatch, March 31st

Posted on by

Join us Monday, March 31st, 14:00 – 15:00 GMT (10:00 AM – 11:00 AM EDT) for our free webinar, Use AppCode to Develop for the Pebble Smartwatch, with Heiko Behrens.

While many have heard of AppCode’s great feature set with respect to iOS, it’s often forgotten how versatile this IDE actually is. Not only does it provide great refactorings and navigation tooling for Objective-C and CocoaPods, but works equally well for plain C, comes with powerful features for JavaScript, and even supports your existing workflow (e.g. Git and shell scripts). During this webinar Heiko will demo all of the above.

The Pebble Smartwatch is one of the few available smart wearables with a broad user base. It provides an SDK and already integrates with products such as Runkeeper, Yelp, Foursquare, Pandora and the Mercedes Drive Kit. Heiko will show you how AppCode can help you to integrate your service with this exciting gadget.

We will start with a simple iOS application in Objective-C that uses the Pebble Smartwatch as always-accessible I/O for your service right on your wrist. We will implement a stand-alone watch app based on the Pebble C-SDK and make it communicate with your iPhone via Bluetooth. We’ll take advantage of Pebble’s JavaScript Kit that augments our previous watch app with logic that conveniently runs on both iOS and Android to perform tasks one would not try on a small embedded device that offers no more than 24K of RAM to you.

Space is limited, please register now.
