Apple of my eye


Attended Apple Content Development Workshop today at Apple Malaysia. It was a long drive there, early in the morning... we had to go through the old jammed Sg Buloh road to IKANO, since we were meeting Shah, the instructor. We had to tail him to the training center. Neither one of us could read the map they gave us.


A lot of flashy stuff from Apple... as I expected. It is part of training as well as promoting their products. My 8 year old iBook G4 seems to be verrrry obsolete.... was embarrassed to take it out from my computer bag.

It was a good course (considering that it was free!!). Even a novice Mac user to pick up the tricks and trades in a couple of hours. Of course, Apple promises a very high tech learning environment and delivers what they claim.... but there are still grey areas that some of us were sceptical about... like the technical support that each of our organizations can or cannot provide.. and the fact that each student needs to have an iPhone to achieve what Apple is offering us...

Tomorrow we will be learning how to develop lessons using Mac softwares... cool eh? GarageBand, iMovie, iTunes, PodCast etc...
