#2I could've sworn that a lot of Stanford iOS courses were already on iTunes U.

#3Can't wait to see all the same apps popping up on GitHub.

#4Haven't there been free iphone dev courses from stanford for free for over a decade? I recall iTunesU hosting them, and perhaps Coursera/EdX, and their own website etc.
Which is great, of course, but is this different?

#5Old news? These excellent videos have been posted on Stanford’s YouTube channel for 8 months: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpGHT1n4-mAtTj9oywMWoBx0d...

#6I learned iOS development from their courses on iTunes U many years ago now... Good that they're continuing with it though.
Edit: here's one source from 2011 - https://news.stanford.edu/news/2011/november/itunes-apps-cla...

#7Off topic, but looking at the curriculum of the course and the more I read about native development, the more I love Flutter. There are so many barriers to entry for native development, to develop and publish a simple app is such a complex procedure that I respect anyone even trying to go Native first without any prior knowledge.
Flutter on the other hand, is a pure joy. Almost anything you need UI-wise is prepared, and you can just customize it the way you want (try implementing a ListView in native vs Flutter). For the big majority of today's apps native is just not neccessary, most apps don't need bluetooth access or some other specific service.
Especially from the business side, Flutter is way better. You need to maintain only one codebase which results in less need for resources. And you are way faster, you can iterate like crazy and push out an MVP...
And when stable Flutter Web arrived, it is game over...

#8Looking at the slides, this course is based on SwitftUI which only came out in the last year or two while previous versions used UIkit.

#9Since this is posted here I'll ask a question that has been bugging me for the last year: Who does the captions on these YouTube videos? Is it automated? I ask because every CS193p video starts with the same opening scene/music and the caption describing the music is different on every single one. Is this an auto-caption algorithm just getting it wrong? Or is there a person having fun behind the scenes waiting for someone like me to notice and spend an irrational amount of time wondering what happened? I feel like it has to be a person, right? YouTube's captioning wouldn't give 12 different results.
Edit- For anyone curious, here's how the music is described in the captions at the beginning of each lecture:
1. regal music
2. mellow ambient music
3. light music
4. gentle music
5. air whooshing
6. gentle music (turns out there is one repeat)
7. peaceful music
8. [no description]
9. ethereal music
10. celestial music
11. serene music
12. dramatic music

Exactly! This is the best resource on SwiftUI I have found yet!
