Hey Eliot, How accessible is this for people with a CS background? Is this targeted specifically for beginners? I don't have a lot of background with iOS but have a CS background. Would prefer to go more into the nitty gritty rather than just talking about variables :)

We always learn CS fundamental in the context of building real apps, so you'll always be in the nitty gritty of the SDK. You just won't struggle with the fundamental concepts.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

This course was designed for students with 0 programming knowledge. While I agree Objective-C can give you a deeper understanding of coding iOS feel free to jump right into this course especially since this will be easier to follow with the current tools. Plus learning the latest thing is always more fun.

I wondered what level this was designed for and didn't see that information at first glance (found it after seeing this comment). It might be a good idea to specify higher up on the page or under a separate header? I imagine that's information a lot of people are looking for…

Absolute beginners to coding and people experienced technologies other than iOS.
