iPhone developers get Ivy League edu-mu-cation

I have been doing the 'play-at-home game' version of the iPhone app development course. So far I've watched the first three lectures and done all of the homework (and extra credit! :)

All I can say is, this is a really great opportunity for anyone who has a little bit of time and willingness to learn. Evan Doll is a very good lecturer, and makes it easy to follow what's going on.

I was a little disappointed that they didn't film and upload their first 'optional' session of the course, because it covered debugging your app, but apparently they're going to upload some of the materials. I hope they manage to film some of the other ones, because they're supposed to get some exciting guest speakers in.

Either way, the materials that ARE available right now are a great way to cut your teeth on iPhone app development. Genius move on Apple's part (it will certainly lead to more app developers) and great of Stanford to let them post this stuff online.

"White people also like to call their school “The Harvard of the ”. Do not challenge this, it will ruin their confidence."

no, not an original thought o' mine in this post.

As a high school Junior and iPhone developer looking at colleges, I'm curious if any other colleges/universities besides Stanford are offering this. Anyone know? Stanford seems interesting; I read somewhere else that they have a group of students who actually made an iPhone app that uses Stanford's internal databases and information to display campus info, friend locations, etc. (iStanford)

This first surfaced three days ago... every single other blog, even the non-Apple related blogs covered this by now. Why has it taken you so long? I would've thought you'd be the first to post on this.

Aron, like the title update ;)

I did actually research how to properly capitalize "Ivy League," I just neglected to read the rest of the article! My mistake, thanks guys for pointing it out, I've updated to more accurately reflect reality.

FYI -- the ivy league schools are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Brown, Cornell, Dartmouth, Columbia and UPenn.

Umm...you guys know that Stanford isn't an Ivy League school, right? Maybe the TUAW editors need a new edu-mu-cation?

Stanford isn't Ivy League.
