Stanford U. Lists Course on iPhone Programming for the Fall
Fans of Apple gadgets have been happily blogging about a listing in Stanford University’s course catalog for the fall that includes what might be the first college course on programming for the iPhone.
The course is listed as being taught by “Marcos,” and the word is that the professor will be Paul Marcos, a long-time Apple employee. Officials for Stanford’s computer-science department could not be reached for comment.
Stanford has been quick to offer courses on new technology in the past. Last year it offered a course on programming applications for Facebook, which became a huge hit.—Jeffrey R. Young

What’s next at Leland’s great “university” — the theory of nails and make-up?

Your headline is misleading; at first I thought they were going to be teaching students how to program their OWN iPhones. But general programming of applications for the iPhone seems like a worthwhile topic.

The headline is clear to me, though I agree the course is worthwhile. JDQ, why do you sneer?

The iPhone and other inspired technology that helps mankind come together more readily is a Divine gift. May the study of it be blessed to continue.

Isn’t that Women and Gender Studies?
