Free - Intro to iPhone Development Course - Stanford
Update - The course is looking good. One member from Codetown is also doing the course. We can all collaborate here: ask questions, share tips, etc. Just let us know where you are in the course and what assignment you're working on, etc...
I just watched the first lecture. It's the quality you'd expect from Stanford. Now, to get the environment set up....

Hi Michael,
I completed the April 2009 CS193P course. I did not skip any of the lectures and completed all of the assignments. I would highly recommend this FREE online course to anyone interested in iPhone development. After completing the course, I tweeted Evan Doll and had an interesting conversation with him.
FYI,
They are now in the process of teaching the Winter Term of CS193P and are publishing the courses on iTunes.
Take Care,

Definitely. I will download the first lecture and try and view it this week. I am curious to see if it differs from the April Course. If you get a chance, check out some of the guest speakers from CS193P April 2009. There are some really cool guest speakers.
Thanks,
Kevin -
Happy 10th year, JCertif!

By Daniel DominguezBeyond Autonomous Teams in Software Product Development
Autonomous teams are an article of faith in modern software development. The shape of our value determines what we can do; it determines our trade-offs between agency and coherence. We all have a purpose, and we all have agency to do something, hence the suggestion is moving from product focus to value center thinking.

Lily Mara explains how to avoid high-risk software rewrites through incremental FFI refactoring. She shares how engineering teams can replace Python bottlenecks with Rust via PyO3, demonstrating how to achieve dramatic function-level speedups, seamless integration testing, and meaningful infrastructure cost savings without microservice overhead.
By Lily MaraArticle: When Spec-Driven Development Pays Off
AI coding assistants have become a core part of software development. AI-generated code has shown productivity gains, but it's also contributing to security weaknesses and familiar bug patterns. In this article, author Nitin Garg highlights the bottleneck has moved from code generation to code verification, and how to detect & mitigate it when the AI-generated behavior diverges from the intent.
By Nitin GargIETF Publishes RFC 10008, Adding the QUERY Method for Safe Requests With a Body
In June 2026, the IETF published RFC 10008, introducing the QUERY method to HTTP, the first new standard HTTP verb since 2010. QUERY enables developers to send richer query filters in the request body while maintaining cacheable, safe, and idempotent semantics. This addition addresses long-standing limitations with GET and POST methods, facilitating improved API interactions.
