				I think development courses at universities aren't worth it. You going through​ learning a framework or development for a specific platform in a class isn't the best way to do it imo.
 I like going to math classes and theoretical computer science classes because I feel that's something that can be learned better at a class environment.
 Learning angular or Android development alone using tutorials AND BUILDING PROJECTS is way better getting 90 in some course and gaining confidence from that..

				@YousifMansour Well the iOS stuff here is one semester of practice on one practical application in teams. So you'll get through theory real quick and then build a complex app with a team of a few people for the rest of the semester guided by a tutor.

				@valentindiehl it sounds fun but in my experience I find that I learn better when I'm doing things. I am currently doing a project with a team but all the technology we're using we learned on our own.. that's what I meant.
 You can still do the team thing as a course but learn any technology you'd like outside class. In this sense it wouldn't matter what type of course it is as long as you're working with a team and building a thing.

Why would a university not offer a single course on mobile development in 2017?
Luckily, Stanford's iOS course on iTunes U seems to be pretty legit.
