Stanford Cocoa Programming Class!

I was very surprised when I found that the famous Stanford University offers a Cocoa programming class. You can find more information about it here.

The course may help you learn Cocoa by following its assignments and reading its lecture notes! The proposed textbook is Cocoa Programming for Mac OS X, by Aaron Hillegass, second edition. You can find more information about the book here and here.
