Apple announced details of an iPhone Developer University program to
allow higher education institutions provide courses on iPhone and iPod
touch programming.
The University Program provides a wealth of development resources,
sophisticated tools for testing and debugging, and the ability to
share applications within the same development team. Institutions can
also submit applications for distribution in the App Store.
The program is available to accredited, higher education institutions
in the U.S. and allows universities an avenue to provide official
courses that do not violate Apple's iPhone SDK non-disclosure
agreement.
Stanford is taking advantage of Apple's Developer University Program
with a new course this fall titled iPhone Application Programming
which currently has more than 80 students registered.
Stanford also announced today that they are working on a project to
make several of its web-based services available to students as iPhone
applications:
A suite of five software applications developed by students is now
being tested on campus. Two of them, for managing course registration
and bills, are intended for students. The other three will allow
access to Stanford's searchable campus map, get team scores and
schedules, and check listings in the university's online directory,
StanfordWho.
