Stanford offers iPhone developer course for free via iTunes U
Stanford University, which has quite the collection of free content available on iTunes U, will soon be beginning their iPhone Application Programming course. This course, which will cover Cocoa programming for the Mac as well as a plethora of other coding practices, will have the content and videos up a few days after each lecture. The first lecture is expected to be up within a couple of days, according to their site. With Apple engineers helping out with the course, it promises to provide some pretty great content to all the developers interested.
The course, although titled for iPhone development, will cover Objective-C, as well as programming in general basics. The syllabus includes memory management, threading, caching, and all of the other tasks that programmers use commonly. It will be ten weeks long with two meetings each week, so the content will be fresh. I know I will be subscribing to this content once it appears on iTunes U, and I suggest that anyone interested in iPhone developing does as well.

Great find Josh! Sounds like the perfect course to follow to give me a basic understanding in iPhone development, if nothing else. I’ve been learning VB6 (I know, it’s horrible) for the past few months at college, but I really want to learn something more, widely used. Objective-C and Java are high on my list. Can’t wait for this, cheers!
