this is the greatest stuff on the web; not the cmu open learning initiative per se, but just universities & colleges doing this stuff generally speaking -- berkley, stanford (amazing for this stuff), mit (sort of set the standard) and several other top-tier schools. now i've never formally taken a programming class in my life, but via many of these on-line courses and their accompanying resources, I am now a software developer! i do have two (very unrelated) college degrees, but these on-line courses have definitely changed my life. thanks for the post...i love seeing this kind of stuff!
cool...all the better it's in python. i'm not a pythonista or anything, but still think it's a great all around language (esp. for something like this where the focus is on the algorithm, not the code per se).
i dunno, very skeptical about the conclusion here. w/ the nexus prime (purportedly) at 4.65", that seems pretty ideal -- decently big enough to read a pdf, but still small enough for portability (pocket transport, unlike a tablet needing to be tossed into a backpack/bag of some sort). nice merging/compromise of smartphone & tablet (which i suppose is the point w/ this new ics os).
