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.
