Status check!

I'm planning to post lecture 4 today, but I also thought maybe we could do some brainstorming. How are you doing so far? Finding anything confusing or the pace too fast? Would it be helpful to have some simpler, less MIT-ish problems to warm up with? A weekly chat option to go over things or watch the lectures? Partners to work on the problem sets with?

Fire away with any ideas and suggestions!

Also! I was thinking, Google Code has some handy code review and commenting features, and who doesn't love version control, right? *g* So I set up an intro-cs-dw Mercurial project over there. I've never actually used Mercurial before, but I like having excuses to learn new things.

To get set up:

1) Email or pm me or leave me a comment and I'll add you as a project committer.

2) Add a folder with your name on it and put your problem set solutions in there.

That way if you want to collaborate with someone or leave helpful feedback or read other people's code, it should be a little easier than using the DW comments.
