iPhones and iPads are sure to be on some students’ holiday present wish list. If you have students that receive one of those as a holiday present or if you buy one for yourself or someone on your shopping list, turn that present into an educational opportunity by send them this link to a free iTunes U course about developing apps for iOS. Developing Apps for iOS is a twenty-three part course offered by Stanford through iTunes U. Each segment of the course is a video lecture with diagrams when appropriate. You can also access the course’s website for PDFs of the hand-outs from the course.
