[Moderator] Re: University courses in Cocoa/Objective-C?

I am particularly interested in whether any such courses exist in the Montreal area, but of course would also like to hear about them anywhere. Any feedback on the experience (was it useful, was it well attended, how did it come about, what department offered it) would be greatly appreciated. I'm kind of worried that if I suggest it to our comp-sci department, they'll laugh me out of the room.

Why does the language matter at all? Surely you're teaching courses on computer science topics, rather than on languages. I always though the "what language do we use?" question was rather secondary to "what topics do we teach them?". If you're teaching a course on something that Obj-C/Cocoa does well, like proper Object Oriented coding, or building user interfaces, then go for it. On the other hand, if you're teaching a course on functional programming, you may be on a loser.

Please do not take this in the direction of a language debate.

That will lead to moderation-ville.
