Stanford Report, April 1, 2009Free Stanford course on developing
iPhone software
BY DAN STOBER
Want to know how to write programs for the iPhone and iPod touch?
Beginning this week, a Stanford computer science class on that
buzzworthy topic will be available online to the general public for
free.
The 10-week course, iPhone Application Programming, is a hot ticket.
It begins today and videos of the classes will be posted at Stanford
on iTunes U two days after each class meeting (http://itunes.stanford.edu
). Copies of the slides shown in class will be available there as well.
The proliferation of third-party applications for Apple's iPhone has
changed the device from a popular cell phone to a miniature computer.
The Apple App Store offers more than 25,000 titles, dealing with
everything from maps to business tools, games, photography, fishing
and restaurant recommendations based on your location.
"There's a lot of interest in the iPhone," said Brent Izutsu,
Stanford's project manager for Stanford on iTunes U. "This course
provides an excellent opportunity for us to show the breadth and depth
of our curriculum and the innovation of our students."
There are applications that can turn your iPhone into a musical
instrument and one that will measure G-forces on your body as you
steer your car through a corner. Snap a photo of the cover of almost
any book, CD, DVD or video game and—with the right software—get links
to ratings and reviews. According to Apple, the download count from
its App Store has passed the 800 million mark.
Online viewers of the Stanford course will see the same lectures as
the on-campus students, but will not receive credit for the course (http://cs193p.stanford.edu
). Some of the student-developed apps from the fall-quarter class,
such as the Chinese-English dictionary Qingwen, are available at the
iTunes store.
"For Stanford, working with Apple allowed us to focus our energy on
identifying and capturing great content while Apple provided us the
technology to distribute it globally," Izutsu said.
The Department of Computer Science is part of the Stanford School of
Engineering.
