This  non-credit iPhone Application Development course is open to the general public and is available in both 100% online and Hybrid sections.  It teaches the course content from the successful 3 credit class offered by NJIT in the Spring 2009.  That course was featured in  "Where Phones in Class are OK"  at insidehighered.com  and more recently in a feature story reported by WCAU, Channel 10, Philadelphia.  Participants in this class receive a login to the NJIT Apple Developer Program portal and receive full access to all of the NJIT Apple resources without paying the additional $99 Apple Developer Registration fee required of private developers. Those Apple resources include documentation, development software and video tutorials.

The Online section is entirely online with an NJIT instructor.  It teaches entrepreneurs and the computing literate what they need to know to design and implement iPhone and iPod Touch software using the Apple Software Development Kit environment. Students learn how to create and deploy iPhone/iPod Touch and iPad applications on the software simulator and hardware devices. 

The Hybrid class section offer students the ability to work in a Macintosh computer lab at NJIT and use the tools provided to them by the Apple/NJIT University Developer Portal to complete class assignments and projects.

The Hybrid class offers a one hour lecture/discussion once per week and up to 8 hours of computer lab availability for enrolled students.

They practice the creation of  Apple AppStore  compliant apps so that they can potentially be offered by Apple as paid, downloadable commercial software packages.   Currently, Apple pays accepted developers of iPhone and iPod apps 70% of the revenue generated.  The New York Times has dubbed this as "The iPhone Gold Rush" in an article appearing on April 5, 2009.  The article highlights the successes of individuals, who already possessed the kind of information which this course will teach, and points out that others could benefit as well from this Apple opportunity if they obtain the right training.
