Bret Morgan of Cowerks, a good friend of Zetetic, is organizing a cooperative learning program in late April designed to give participants a crash course in iPad/iPhone development.
The approach is unique; instead of a traditional "teacher leads, students learn" class model, participants will work together as a cooperative development group. Following the first half of the Stanford University CS193P iPhoneApplication Development curriculum, the goal is to cover a wide range of iOS topics in just 8 weeks of sessions:
With the course materials and group as a guide, attendees will work both collaboratively and on their own time to learn Objective-C and the relevant SDKs.
It's a really neat concept, so if you're in the NJ area and you've been waiting for a reason to learn iOS development, this could be a great opportunity. Classes start on April 23rd, and registration is open now with early-bird discounts at http://cowerks-ios.eventbrite.com.
