This course got me into iPhone application development. It's a wonderful resource from Stanford.

I used these videos as well. Very good. Also pay attention to the guest speakers.

  I agree. I thought the Loren Brichter lecture was quite good when I saw it a year or two ago. He doesn't do many interviews or blog posts as far as I know, so it was interesting to see the man behind Tweetie speak on various development issues.

Do not forget about evaluating Developing Apps for iOS (http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/developing-apps-for-ios-hd/id395605774 http://itunes.apple.com/us/itunes-u/developing-apps-for-ios-...) for yourself.

  This is a more recent version of the same course (CS 193). Fall 2010 being newer than Winter 2010 caught me out too, but it made sense when I thought about it in the context of the academic year.

(I know this is off-topic and nitpick-y, but it is "iPhone", not "Iphone".)

    I didn't know that, thanks! I'd reword it as "Stanford Course: iPhone App Development", but I bet the OP didn't know that either.

Awesome course, I've been really enjoying it, for the first lecture and a half or so it was review (for me) of the MVC paradigm, but it was explained very well and actually gave me some new perspective on it. I love that Stanford gives this away!

When I click to view it on iTunes all the buttons get disabled. Maybe it's because I'm on the Portuguese iTunes Store but why is it on highlight on the iTunes U page then? Anyone with the same problem?

So, how do I get to watch these without iTunes on Ubuntu?

  Stanford puts their courses on YouTube. Here is the first session: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQzLHgls63E http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xQzLHgls63E You can also see the syllabus and paraphernalia (including source code) here: http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/ http://www.stanford.edu/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/

i didn't program before using this course. took me 4 months to go from nothing to getting an app published in the app store after going through about 75% of the courses (not all the lectures are applicable - they cover a wide range of topics). This is by far the best resource if you're looking to get into iphone development, even without a programming background. plus - it's completely free!
