Apple makes deal with more than 30 college systems to teach Swift

Apple press release:

Apple today announced the App Development with Swift curriculum will now be offered in more than 30 community college systems across the country in the 2017-2018 school year, providing opportunities to millions of students to build apps that will prepare them for careers in software development and information technology. The Austin Community College District (ACC), one of the nation’s largest higher learning institutions, will begin offering the course to its 74,000 students this fall.

This is a pretty big get for Apple. Though Swift is open source, it seems fair to say that if you grow up learning Swift, you’re going to want to develop in Swift, and that means building apps for the Apple ecosystem, not to mention a likelihood of buying Apple products. Good stuff.

  1. Is there a list somewhere of all the colleges offering this course? I’d like to take it, and I’m sure many of these will be online offerings, so makes sense to take it at the closest school if possible as it could be cheaper (residency and all that).

  2. ACC was super affordable and an easy way in to University of Texas Austin when I attended a year before getting my CS degree at UT. Their programming courses were not that impressive and a bit out of date, so I’m glad to hear they are embracing the future. I remember learning recursion, the old towers of Hanoi.
