So, you’ve heard the stories of developers making enough coin selling iPhone applications to swim around in it Scrooge McDuck style. “I love iPhone applications more than anyone!”, you thought to yourself, “I should make them!” So you picked up a book on Objective C and Cocoa, spent about 20 minutes with it, and then decided to dedicate your life to something that didn’t make your brain cramp.
If only you lived in Australia or near any of the European Qantm colleges, a lack of self motivation wouldn’t be a problem. For the bargain price of just $7,300 USD, you could join Qantm’s recently announced iPhone game development course.
But what about that pesky NDA? According to a representative from the school, either an NDA might be drafted up just for their sake, or Apple may be working on a new one entirely.
With places like Digipen, Full Sail, and the Guild Hall at SMU, this certainly isn’t the first time a college has offered curriculum based around game design. It is, however, the first we’ve heard of a course specifically focused on Steve Jobs’ fancyphone.

That first paragraph described me perfectly. I’m a windows programmer but actually bought a mac mini & mac development book just to check out iPhone app development. It wasn’t long before I discovered that ObjectiveC makes me feel nauseous and I lost motivation. However I love the idea of someone teaching me iPhone game development as that would keep me interested in it. I don’t think I’d pay $7000 for it though!
P.S. That’s a really cruel picture of the guy boxing a kangaroo. I hope he was later convicted for animal cruelty.
c’mon, even stanford has a free online materials on iphone development – there is a bunch of freebie stuff available out there if you want to jump in this train
