Stanford's CS193p iOS development course, a university lecture series on building iPhone and iPad apps, originally offered through iTunes U and YouTube. Commenters note it covers iOS app development and that its older versions used iOS 4 and Xcode 3, so newer offerings are preferable.

Commenters call the Stanford iOS lectures worthwhile and great, especially for developers picking up iOS, though one notes they assume some prior programming knowledge.

   No experience with programming or no experience with swift? Because the stanford iOS courses are great, but you are expected to already know at least a bit of programming.

   I'm a long time developer that recently needed to learn iOS development and I found the stanford online courses worthwhile. I'd definitely recommend those for iOS; you can find them on iTunes U and/or youtube.

   If you are gung-ho on learning both at the same time there is really no other advice I can give but to just dive in. Here are some of the resources I have used or recommend. **Objective-C / Cocoa** Objective-C Programming: The Big Nerd Ranch Guide (This is not free of course but I *highly*…

   You could try out the Fall of 2010 lectures than Stanford did on iOS development just to see what its like for size. The newer lectures should be better since the fall of 2010 version did things with iOS4 and Xcode3, versus the newer version of both that are out now.
