The students started off working in pairs to program an app that would work on an iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad. They did this by using the program Xcode, which allows students to write code and then compile it so it can run a Simulation. It simplifies the programming process by allowing some of the programming to be done using a graphical user interface, instead of all having to be typed code. By using the Simulator tool, the students could then test the app to see if it worked as it was intended to. The app they were trying to make would test all numbers between two numbers the user put in to find out if the numbers were prime or not. After working on the prime app for a while, they learned how to make a button that would hide the keyboard on the iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad and worked on using that until the break.

After their break, the students started learning about views that allow different tabs in an app. They then started to build an application with multiple views so they could apply this knowledge in later apps. At the end of class, they learned how to link their views to a web address.
