Official Apple iPhone Developer University Program, Stanford Participates

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.

this is cool, can;t wait for this to go to more colleges

yep. this is great! need more schools though, for sure

this is great! can't wait to see it in more schools

it'd be cool if this went to ga state, uga, and ga tech soon

probably ga tech first

yeah, hence the name georgia tech

true. but you never know who might adopt this. any school could

yeah i would guess ga tech first. i guess it doesnt matter too much now for me since I am not in school anymore.

right, but i think many schools will adopt this, and will help apple grow

yeah, the iphone is really becoming an industry, many schools can benefit from this

and then apple will sell even more! and more macs in the process

oh definitely, this will definitely help apple a lot!

yep. i think apple knows this, and will encourage it

i'm sure they will

we need to see in january if any other schools added it

yep, I am sure as time progresses, more school will be added.

yeah they will. They won't be able to resist

yeah, it'll be such a money-maker

well, i wouldn't say that.

But it should mean more kids with iPhones

yeah it will promote the apple brand and get more users transferred over to apple users

that's right. it's a win-win for apple

if it works, it'll be great

i don't see how it wouldn't work
