I signed up for this course and took it since I haven't done any iOS dev ever. I have a CompSci degree as well as have done Enterprise Java stuff, so I know my way around a compiler, build, etc. Haven't actively programmed in 5+ years (e.g. 4-8 hours/day is 'active' to me). If you have any programming experience at all, this is not worth it. It does Hello World, then walks you through several examples that are a nice introduction to iOS development. It does as advertised though - you can develop iOS apps in 4 weeks - they don't do much though. The final app has a clown fish that moves on the screen and changes direction when tapped - I think. Once you get over the Objective-C and Cocoa nuances/syntax, then it is just another programming language. Learning about all of the libraries is what you need to do if you want to produce an application. I searched the net for reviews of books and found an iPhone dev cookbook to be more helpful (Erica Sadun I think - don't have it with me). It is a little dated because XCode4 is now out, but the libraries it references are core to building any app that does something. Setting aside time and having the right resources are key. I suggest a book or two. I breezed through the linked course content in a few nights.
