Speaker Serban Porumbescu will be teaching an iPhone Developer course at UC Davis, starting just before 360|iDev (Yeah two weeks). Problem is the school is doing budget cuts and well, there’s no macs. Kinda hard to develop for the iPhone without Macs right?

There’s a Mac lab of course, but that’s hardly the same, and scheduling wise impossible.

Serban needs awesome companies that are interesting in giving a little something back to help him purchase macs.

The course will end up on iTunes just like the Standford courses, and sponsors will get their logo or even a short commercial type blurb in the video, as a “This course sponsored by…” type of thing. Larger sponsors will get their own spot, smaller ones will be together with other smaller sponsors.

Anything else, Mac Minis, Macbooks, etc.

Serban is handling the logistics of this and we’re sure the school will get involved, heck maybe it’s a nice write off. Maybe you’ve got old Macbook Pro’s laying around somewhere in the office?

Talk to Serban at 360|iDev, or we can provide his email address if you’re interested. Time is sadly short on this so if your company is awesome and wants to help the next generation of iPhone developers, step up! It’s a good cause, it’s probably tax deductable :)

The absolute deadline is Oct 5, that’s when Serban expects the class to start coding.

If you haven’t registered yet for 360|iDev you’re going to miss the best iPhone developer conference of 2009! Hands down, I kid you not! Register now for 4 days, 40+ speakers, 3 parties, and more! It’s gonna be a great time, with more incredible content than you can consume.
