NJIT: New Jersey's Science & Technology University is offering a free on-line development course for budding iPhone developers who want to take their idea and turn it into a working product.

As listed on their site:
Have an idea for an iPhone application, but don't know how to make it happen or can't afford to take a course? NJIT will offer free tuition for an online iPhone application development non-credit course. The 10-week online course will begin Oct. 19, 2009. An NJIT instructor will teach it and students who successfully complete it will receive three continuing education units from NJIT.

The 30-hour, online training course teaches computer-savvy students how to design and implement iPhone and iPod Touch software using the Apple software development kit. They will learn how to create and deploy iPhone and iTouch applications on the software simulator and hardware devices. Participants will be encouraged to practice submitting their applications to the Apple AppStore because the apps can potentially be offered by Apple as paid, downloadable commercial software packages.

Fifteen applicants will be selected and preference given to those unemployed and underemployed in the northern New Jersey region. Applicants not eligible for free tuition still may register for this or future classes and pay tuition by visiting http://online.njit.edu. The next class begins Nov. 30, 2009.
