Weekly Newsletter Issue 84
Weekly newsletter summing up our publications and showcasing app developers and their amazing creations.
Welcome to this week's edition of our newsletter.
Stanford has begun publishing the 2025 edition of its well-known Developing App for iOS course, releasing the first six lectures along with demo projects and assignment materials from the most recent academic term. Although the course was produced before iOS 26 and Xcode 26, the content remains largely compatible and offers a reliable introduction to modern iOS development.
With clear fundamentals and guided examples, it remains a strong resource for both experienced developers and those approaching iOS development for the first time.
