Stanford Offers Cocoa Class

Posted by pudge on from the mmmm-cocoa dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Back in the early 90's Stanford University offered a class on Objective-C for students interested in writing applications for NeXTSTEP. After a long hiatus it appears that class will be offered again as CS193E, 'Object-oriented User Interface Programming.' It will be covering the Apple development tools, Objective-C, Foundation and AppKit, and Quartz. Any other schools out there planning or already offering Objective-C courses?"

    Just why the H was I modded offtopic for. I commented that it would be good to have some Cocoa based classes elsewhere, and added that I at least survived in my current school.

    HOW IS THIS DEMED OFFTOPIC?

    Dude, this is an OPTIONAL course than can't even count for credit towards a CS degree. Of course no school is going to drop the principles of functional and OO languages for teaching specific languages - never seen it happen, never will happen (well, at least not at any universities). Why? Because it's called Computer Science for a reason - the science of computation. Cramming programming languages down your throat would need be called a different degree.
