FAQs from the site
* Q: Do I need to have a Mac to take this class?
* A: Yes. You will need to have an Intel-based Macintosh in order to take this class. You will need to install the iPhone SDK so this needs to be a Mac that you have administrative privileges to.
* Q: Do I need to have an iPhone to take this class?
* A: Not strictly. The vast majority of the work we will do can be done using the iPhone simulator (included in the iPhone SDK). There are some pieces of functionality that we will cover that only work on an iPhone or iPod touch, but those will be optional.
* Q: Is this class being offered online?
* A: Yes, the class is being offered via Stanford Center for Professional Development. http://scpd.stanford.edu
* Q: What are the prerequisites?
* A: We list CS106B or CS106X as the prerequisite. While we don't strictly enforce this requirement we do strongly recommend that students are comfortable with programming in C, especially with regard to using pointers and general C memory management (malloc/free). Familiarity with object oriented designs and principles are definitely helpful but tend to pose less of a stumbling block than wrangling with pointers in C.
* Q: Are there midterms/finals?
* A: No. We have weekly assignments with a final project (of your choice), but there will not be a midterm or final exam.
Keep learning!
