Stanford releases their iOS 8 Swift course on iTunesU

A nice surprise from Stanford today came in the form of a course that introduces Swift and iOS 8 in a much lower level than what Treehouse is currently teaching, this course seems suitable for beginners and moderate level iOS developers as the main concept it teaches is MVC which hasn't been covered much.

Go, check it out and let us know what you think of it, if you see something that interests you but isn't covered with much detail make a note of it on the iOS Trello board and either Pasan Premaratne or Amit Bijlani will make a decision from there.

The prerequisites for the course seemed a bit ominous to me, with respect to the course being suitable for beginners... as least that was the impression that I got from watching the first lecture.

Sorry, when I said beginners I left out the part that knowledge of the C programming language is required which is a prerequisite here on Treehouse too, Stanford also expect you to understand Programming Abstractions which can be a real brain buster but for this course I don't think it will hurt to watch through it and learn about the specifics later on.

I'd like to add that:

completion of Programming Paradigms

is also part of the prerequisites. Programming Paradigms is the next CS Stanford course after you complete the Programming Abstractions.
