The previous class on iTunes was extremely useful to me. I'm a college student and the fact that it was in a lecture format made it easy for me to digest.
Reading a book is one thing, but watching someone give a lecture in little chunks made it really easy.
I wonder how ARC changes the way they teach memory management.
I had the same experience on the book vs lecture question. I first read Kochan's Objective-C book, and then started the Big Nerd Ranch iOS programming book. But I never really grokked core concepts, like MVC, that I easily grasped watching Hegerty's lectures.
You could have a friend with a Mac or Windows computer download them then give them to you on a flash drive or something. Also, old versions of iTunes are known to run in Wine.
I don't see the point though; the iOS SDK is Mac only.
