I am surprised that a university with the renown of Stanford would have a course specifically on "the fundamentals of how to build applications for iPhone and iPad using SwiftUI." Not even mobile UI/UX, or UI/UX principles in general; straight up yolo iOS.

How do people not find this absolutely egregious?

At my uni, we organized protests for much smaller intrusions of corporate interests into education.

Is Stanford not much better than a bootcamp these days?

There was no Android, app store was new, there were no app bootcamps. In 2025 if you wanted to offer a hands-on quantum computing class for Computer Science (not Physics), you'd need to pick a corporate product.

Rage-bait?

Universities are criticized for not providing enough economic value and real job training, yet when they do, they are labeled corporate shills.

		No? It was a legitimate question because there have been similar trends in other unis around the world, and I am not personally acquainted with Stanford things. I always held Stanford in high regard.
