  That’s a lot to ask of Stanford University.

I worked through a previous version of this series and it’s a great way to get started on the platform!

I don't understand why Apple removed iTunes U from the Mac iTunes Store. Not everybody has an iPad to use alongside their Mac while working through this series.

  What's more annoying is I can browse all the content on iTunes on the Mac but if I click on anything it takes me to a Safari page which says '.. only available on iPhone and iPad'. Why? Some suggest that it will be back and right now they are decluttering iTunes and it'll be broken into multiple apps. I'm not too hopeful.

  Yea, silly move, from other aspects also. Hence, you can detach from the update train with this version: https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208079 https://support.apple.com/en-in/HT208079

Any way to access this without an iPad or iPhone?

  you can’t effectively make ios apps without one of those things...
  - oblio 9y ago
    True, but it's ridiculously hostile to restrict access to free, public videos in such a way... What if I want to just check things out because I might be interested? Should I buy an iPhone on the off-chance that I find things interesting and might want to develop something later? Sheesh.

      The videos are only public because the creators chose to do that. Why is it "hostile" of them to choose a distribution mechanism relevant to the material? Why do you feel you have a right to demand they distribute this content -- which they made available for free -- in a manner you prefer?

        One can just ask the same questions reversed

        Yes, but they would make no sense.
the_common_man 9y ago
Wow, delivering videos via an app.. This is so hostile. Why would somebody do it this way and not publish on some video site like vimeo or omg coursera, khan academy etc?
- bobnarizes 9y ago
  I think the problem with those sites it's that they have some kind of profit. Either by hosting ads or by selling some certificate, where iTunes U really offers the course for "free" on compatible platforms. Maybe this is the focus of Standford

    And Apple wants to sell iPads or else why would this site not even support Macs.
  - the_common_man 9y ago
    Khan academy was non-profit I thought and ad-free. But I get what you are saying, haven't thought about that.

I haven't really looked at this but I do have a general dislike that this is an app/something on iTunes. I find it somewhat strange that when opening it on my iPhone SE the description is unrendered HTML: https://imgur.com/a/miJXw https://imgur.com/a/miJXw

Also consider Apple's "Start Developing iOS Apps (Swift)" tutorial. That's how I got started on Swift and Xcode. https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary/GettingStarted/DevelopiOSAppsSwift/ https://developer.apple.com/library/content/referencelibrary...
