Just looked through a few -- these presentations are excellent. I'd recommend them to anyone looking to learn iPhone development. (Not too surprising. Both lecturers work on iPhone development at Apple, and Paul Marcos has been teaching Cocoa at Stanford for a while.)
Patrick, any other resources you'd recommend?
Sorry I'm not Patrick, but we're trying to keep up to date with iPhone developer news (as well as tutorials) at http://www.mobileorchard.com/ - we're trying to become a bit of a "go to" for iPhone development news and the like - high level stuff mostly.
Whaat? My undergrad CS department didn't have anything this focused on a single technology or programming environment. The most specific was the software engineering course where you learned how to use Java and C++ and XML, but the point of that course was not even to teach those things but to teach you how to learn the tools for doing professonal software development (and to help you figure out how to actually build…
Why not teach students a technology that could potentially make them money (maybe even a lot of money) while they're still in school or shortly thereafter? Of course they should keep and require the basics as well, but what better way to build enthusiasm for programming than becoming a successful programmer?
"... Why not teach students a technology that could potentially make them money ..."
Because technology changes and the money follows.
This is the problem of trying to teach specifics rather than general principles. Most engineering degrees in Aus. have a 1 year 'in-industry' year before graduation. Does CS needs something like this for grads to cut their teeth in technology specifics?
looking at the course number 193P, it's probably a seminar or special course. maybe just once. are there more tutorials or videos available?
From the FAQ in http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/downloads/Handout-0-Ove... : Q: Will the class be televised? A: Yes. This year’s class will be offered via SCPD and will be available online. There is no broadcast on campus cable, it will only be available online. However it doesn't look like its posted yet, there's no videos on http://scpd.stanford.edu/search/publicCourseSearchDetails.do... - without knowing anyt…
I am following this course in a blog you might want to check out

By the way I am getting farther faster than with the books I had. It's worth watching
