Notes:

Bill Waldman -- did session on Runtime Revolution (kind of like Hypercard, can create apps for iPhone/iPad, good for MS/9th grade students)

a lot of IOS programming resources, but not a lot of courses

set up a public moodle page for a multi-school collaborative course?

Apple's Xcode tools, good, powerful. 18-year-old minimum, kids don't seem to be concerned about getting it on to the actual device.

Now both an iphone and an ipad simulator Objective C ugly, unintuitive syntax (Fred), but you grow to like it it is truly real-world programming. And it can turn into money or results almost instantly.

interesting: you must program code to automatically dismiss keyboard for input, etc.

His class meets 5 out of 6 days -- full class text: Beginning iPhone3 Development, by Mark and LaMarche (Apress)

Lynda.com (get the CD?) -- stuff by Simon Allardice (iphone sdk essential training) -- assumes some, but "not a lot" of objective c knowledge -- Fred says he did not have to do a lot of traditional coding so far

Stanford: 3 years of iPhone programming courses check the third year -- material is better

Fred recommends: take a course first before teaching a class

Jake Kovach from Spence is taking iPhone development courses at NYU (School of Continuing and Professional Studies)

This is going to take time; doesn't happen in a year.
