CS193p: Developing Apps for iOS

I wonder how macs move to custom chips will impact the hackentosh community going forward. I can see the day when intel is simply no longer supported as a platform.

A big shout out to Paul Hegarty, one of the best teachers I've ever had, even though I've only attended his online classes.

I also think it's weird too but decided it's my problem/snobbery even.

Universities have a bunch of roles and one of them is to teach skills you'll need in a given job. While some of those skills are truly general (problem solving, certain mathematics, thermo) you still learn the ones most common in your discipline. When you start a job as a new graduate you should have some familiarity in the tools and language of your discipline -- what units are used, how people talk (different disciplines can use different terms for the same thing), and yes, the most important tools. When I was an undergraduate we used Bridgeport mills (yes, it was pre CNC -- they were installed the very next year) because those were the common tools.

Many of the things I learned back then are obsolete, but I realize that most of the time was spent on the stuff that has lasted: diff eq, thermo, "deep skills". However I could not have been of any use to any employer if I didn't know (in my case) how to program a Lisp machine.

Does anyone know of a good course to get started on AppleTV development?

I've tried getting started with a small hobby project multiple times, and I get something working, but the documentation I can find doesn't really help you get into more advanced stuff.

I was an ios dev via Objective-C in another life.

Swift and SwiftUI is such a fundamental shift in experience for the better.

There are a few esoteric things based on full interoperability with ObjectiveC and the cocoa API's, but for most apps, it's really straight forward.
