Sure thing, but don't wait until then to ask questions if you're stuck on anything. None of the assignments so far have been that involved, but if you are stuck with something, a month is a long time to get help.

I think discussion of exercises etc might be good for the XCake monthly group?

Based on the Spring run you will have 2x1hr (ish) lectures coming out per week. There are tutorials with these which will probably eat another 2-4 hrs so you could probably pencil yourself in for 1-2 hrs per night for at least 2-3 nights.
They didn't use any book. The Apple Documentation for the iPhone SDK is great and referred to a lot in the lectures as is getting to know the headers.
Whilst not iPhone specific I found Aaron Hillegrass's book on Cocoa Development handy to have about linky to amazon

There are 2 lectures a week I think, I'm going to try and find 4 hours a week for the lectures & practical work. The 2009 course only uses the lectures & apple docs, so no extra book at this stage.

Simon - how many hours of course do you plan to do every night/every week?

Are you using a book alongside it?

Audited this course when it last run in Spring and it's a great learning resource.
I'll follow along for this one as they are able to openly discuss the 3.x Sdk now, and I'll see if I can answer some questions.
If you can spare the time don't just follow the lectures but do the tutorials. They do teach you valuable lessons.

I'm going to try and keep pace with the lectures coming out of Stanford, I think a couple of others are as well, it might be useful to talk to others doing the course.
