Stanford students writing iPhone apps

Stanford iAppsBack in July, we reported on an iPhone programming course being developed and offered by Stanford University. The course is in full swing this fall, with a reported 80 students signed up. Stanford has also started a project that is beginning to bear fruit in the form of iPhone and iPod touch apps -- the Stanford iApps Project.

Five student-developed apps are now being tested as part of the Stanford iApps Project. Two of the apps are targeted at Stanford students and provide management of course registration and bills, while the other three apps are aimed at a much larger audience including the general public and alumni.

These other apps give access to a searchable Stanford University map (see screenshot), schedules and scores for the University's sports teams, and listings in the StanfordWho online directory.

While future iApps may be the result of the iPhone development course, these apps were developed by TerriblyClever Design. This may sound like an established Silicon Valley development firm, but it's actually a startup created by Kayvon Beykpour, a Stanford computer science undergrad. Once the Stanford apps are out of beta testing, they'll be available in the App Store.

Thanks to Ian for the tip!

That's exactly what I am waiting for (but here in Columbus, not Stanford) :)

During that time, I am developing something they all may like very much: http://iBetaTest.com

Check it out if you are a developer or love testing beta apps. Registration is now open.

I think Apple would have done something already to stop Stanford if it did violate something.

Stanford probably uses a better law firm than Apple anyway.

Unless the course instructors themselves signed Apple's NDA, Apple has no authority to prevent them from teaching whatever they please.

they approached my state university here in New England, but we were required to take a minimum of 10 iphones off of the cell network to use custom images(this was right around the release of the SDK). we could not justify spending on 10 new iphones, or taking our existing cellphones off the network to develop so we declined....

I have a feeling this course violates Apple's iPhone SDK NDA.
