NYU iPhone Class

Wow, sorry I've been so bad at keeping up with this, but I knew that would happen towards the end of the year... Anyways expect a giant outpouring of posts to be coming soon, now that school is about over.

I recently discovered that NYU has a new class called "iPhone Programming" that was offered this semester in the Computer Science department and basically, the point of the class is to teach you how to create apps for the iPhone (slightly unrelated, but still equally cool is the fact that NYU is offering a major next semester that is devoted to video games and making them and stuff...).  The final project is to create your own app and some of them look really amazing.  I've already checked for them on iTunes, but they're not up, though I'm hoping that after they present them next week, they'll be available.  

I've included the link for you right here, but just wanted to mention my favorites:

iHungry: This one is by far my favorite.  You enter the food items that you have in your fridge/cupboard and the app will give you recipes based on those ingredients.  Also, you can store a list of staple items, like butter, sugar, etc...  I want this app.
NYU Courses:  check the availability of classes, reviews of the professors, and even map out where the classes are going to be 
CityInsider:  It's like Urban Spoon, for those of you who have the app, which recommends different places to eat.  The difference is that this app will tell you where to eat based on what restaurant has the best deal.
iNYUBus:  Gives you the NYU bus schedule plus tells you where the closest stop is based on your current location.  This would have been so helpful this past semester...
Who Is It?:  This looks like the game, Guess Who? but for your phone.
