Do You Want to Learn How to Make an iPhone App?

There is a not-so-secretive secret to those of you out there who are curious about iPhone application development and desire a more structured learning experience outside of a book.

The Stanford University iPhone course is a great resource, and best of all, it’s free. Yep, it costs nothing more than your time and some bandwidth (assuming you already have everything needed for iPhone app development and iItunes).  Employees from iPhone and iPad development teach the course and post the videos of the lectures and lab sections online a few days after they occur.

I found this course last year, but it was only the presentations and posted after the course was completed.  This time around, you can be taking the course in near real-time, watching the video lectures, downloading example code, and working on the progressively more difficult (and fun) assignments.  Last year’s course gave me a firm foundation, where I learned more from these slides and reading documentation than the random tutorials found online.

I am taking the course again, this time taking notes and immersing myself in all things iPhone OS.  If you’re the least bit interested in iPhone development, check it out!
