If you’ve been wondering how an application gets built for the iPhone and iPod Touch, you can stop wondering as Stanford University is here to answer your questions.
Stanford on iTunes has offered copies of courses, faculty lectures, interviews, music and sports for some time, but now they are offering a free full course on how to develop applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch. While this is a regular course at Stanford, all of the class materials will be available on their iTunes pages with a few days of the actual class meetings. While students in the physical 10-week course will receive class credit, those online won’t.
Considering the proliferation of iPhone applications being produced by third-party developers, and no obvious end in sight of demand, those with an idea for an application couldn’t find a better bargain on learning how to bring their concept to fruition. If you are interested in following along with the course, you will need an Intel-based Mac of some type and the Apple SDK.
