Stanford Developing Apps for IOS

Absolutely Brilliant instructor... Makes me want to go to Stanford. Every time I re-watch these videos I learn something new, they are a classic, and should be seen by anyone interested in programming for the iPhone

Out of date now, unfortunately

With the advent of iOS 5 and Xcode 4, the information in here is now out of date. The app designed in the second lesson will not compile due to errors that are present in Xcode 4.2 vice what he uses in the video. If you haven't updated to iOS 5/Xcode 4.2, this information will be immensely useful. For those of us that keep updated, this information will provide a basics but not much beyond that since the code used won't compile.

Great course. Well explained and it was very easy for beginners to learn.

Nice segway for a .net developer!

OK, a great segway. Paul 'holds' my hand as I digest the concepts different in Xcode/Mac than in the Microsoft .Net world. MVC, a very good standard design pattern, seems like this Framework was thought out thoroughly before it was let out of the door. Thanks for providing such valuable education and information to the public. Wish I could Audit your course in person.

Best iPhone course for experienced programmers on the planet

Im a java/j2ee developer for 10 years, picked up some Objective-C and Cocoa books, and I couldn't stay focused enough to get through it. Enter Stanford and this course, I went through the entire series twice in a month and will be submitting my first app to the App Store next month WOW!

Great course

Excellent course for all aspiring and experienced iPhone developers. Combines theory and practice very effectively. Loved it.

Well done

This course is very well structured and organized. It introduces and builds upon concepts in a very logical order. The main lectures did a good job of focusing on the core of the language and tools. It avoids topics that change extremely often. Following this course over a semester, I went from zero ios experience to an app on the App Store. Thank you to Stanford and Prof. Hegarty.

Entertaining and Pack Full of Information

I've been programming in the dot net environment for several years. I purchased a book on developing for iOS and found Objective-C to be pretty confusing. This instructor does a fantastic job of explaining the language and the Xcode development environment. After only 2 weeks I've created some very useful applications for my company. The hands on demos are invaluable. I recommend this course to anyone wanting to know how to create apps for the iPhone.

Incredible resource

These videos (and the accompanying materials) are an amazing resource to learning iOS development and Objective C in general. Paul makes the barrier for entry low enough that even coming from a PHP background things make sense. Putting these videos online (for free, no less) shows what an incredibly forward thinking institution Stanford is.

Nice class

Awesome tutorial

What programming education should be.

Brilliant. He assumes nothing more than a basic understanding of OO programming; walks us through the entire thought process.
Patrick Lanford

Awesome

Outstanding!!!

You feel like you are in standford, learning and making apps on the fly. Super recommended who want a way to understand so important parts like mvc and management the xcode. Great examples!!!

The Best iOS training avail

This is by far the best and most lucid training available for iOS development. The instructor does a better job explaining apple's frameworks than apple does themselves. Thanks to Stanford for making this invaluable resource available for free!

Great Videos

A+ to the instructor.
Rosietheman

Terrific collection

This is a great series for anyone looking to learn and to advance in iOS programming. BE WARNED, if you do not have a background in programming, this series will sound like a foreign language to you. This is a great class for programmers who already know OOP. Great lectures, great slide shows, GREAT demos. Coundn't do better. Paul explains everything very well also.

IOS

Im fourteen and just watched the first lecture. Bloody excited to make some apps of my own and maybe even sell some on the app store. FYI: i no absolutely nothing about programming, no java, or c+++, or whatever you guys call it all. Hopefully this will allow me to make some cool apps even though im 14. :D
GaryZion

Terrific Class

I've been developing for iPhone for 2 years, so I already know the material, which possibly skews my perspective. I wish that I'd had these videos in addition to the docs, books, blogs, and boards that I used.

Awsome teacher

Paul is simply brilliant at teaching iphone development. His videos are tenfold better than Apples own videos.
Raymond Brigleb

Wow

So grateful to Stanford for sharing this course for free. It's great.

The great lecture!

Apps software is the best systerm ,I prefer to study it's programming language.Thanks Mr.Paul!

Great lecturer, pace, quality

Paul Haggerty does a fantastic job. This series is exactly what you need to bootstrap iOS knowledge from a software engineering background. I am very grateful that this is available.

This is incredible

Hi - I stumbled onto this. I can hardly believe it's free. It is so helpful and so far, I have watched several of the presentations, and downloaded the associated documents from the Fall 2010 session on the Stanford website. I've passed the information along to a few friends who are also possibly interested in eventually creating some apps, and they also have found it amazingly great. Thank you so much for making this available!
Randy Budge

Fun way to learn!

Much better than digging through all the Apple documentation.
Nekbeth

Amazing Tutorials

I'm new to the Ob-C language, new to iPhone OS, new to almost everything regarding development or programming in general. After watching some of this videos, it oped a new world for me. I've watched many tutorials and this is the most straight forward, simple and well explained group of videos for beginners like myself. Objective-C used to intimidate me before Mr. Hegarty explain the basic concepts in these videos, now I'm starting to love coding. : ) The best of all, is that it's all free education material and if your plan is to work at home, you only need the knowledge not the paper (Certificate from collages) in order to work and earn good money. Thanks to Apple and all the teacher who share their knowledge to the world.
SparkyRacer

Great course

These videos are great! The presenter does an excellent job of explaining the material in a manner that is both easy to understand and entertaining -- much better than some of the classes where the speaker just drones on and frequently goes off-topic. The course materials mentioned in the lecture are on the Stanford website, located more or less here: (Dub dub dub dot Stanford dot edu)/class/cs193p/cgi-bin/drupal/
