intro_to_cs | January Start?

One a week sounds good to me. I meant to go earlier but ... fail.

From:

wyntarvox

Ditto this. My end-of-2009 turned out crazy busy and I didn't get to do the first round. I'd love to be in on the January round.

I'd like to try again, yes!

From:

winterthunder

All right!

So, at one a week, that's a problem set every two weeks... Looks like the November start people have been putting up a post for each lecture. I'll try to keep to their pattern. New lecture discussion post each Sunday, and maybe a separate post for each problem set? And seeing as how it's the 30th, I guess we start this Sunday!

From:

I'd like that as well. December's been too busy to really get stuck into this and get started.

From:

winterthunder

Oh, I know... I still have stuff to finish before December turns over officially...

Yes, I'm interested. I meant to try earlier, but didn't quite make it....

Good!

PS: yeah, one lecture a week would be the best, I think!

From:

zooey_glass

Yep, I'd like to. I will be insanely busy the first few weeks of January, so I might have to do a burst of work to catch up, but I'd definitely like to try.

From:

winterthunder

Great!

Very much interested!

Oooh. I'm definitely interested! I lost track after the first couple of lectures because the workload was too heavy for me to balance along with the other stuff I was doing. Once a week sounds like it would be a more manageable pace.

From:

winterthunder

Awesome! And hey, if it's still too heavy, we can discuss dropping the pace by half again. No official grades here...

I'd definitely be interested; I knew I wouldn't be able to start until January.

Yay!

I'd be interested in jumping back on. I didn't finish out the first round, and I would also find one lecture a week more manageable.

From:

winterthunder

Welcome on board, then!

One a week sounds good. I tried to do it earlier but couldn't keep up with 2 a week.

From:

winterthunder

Yeah, two a week would be too much for me...

I got lost in NaNoWriMo so didn't even get to start on lesson one. Hopefully I'll have time to do one a week.

From:

winterthunder

Whee, NaNoWriMo!

I want to, though I'm still trying to see how my schedule's going to end up. I'll try it though.

From:

winterthunder

Glad to have you along!

From:

hermitsoul

Add me as well, I got through the first few lectures, but I think I'd benefit from starting over and going a bit slower. A problem set every couple weeks would be perfect.

From:

mousagetes

Yes, please. I fell behind and need to catch up a bit but want to continue. The schedule proposed in comments (lecture post on Sundays, separate post for prob sets) sounds good to me.

From:

winterthunder

Excellent!

From:

domtheknight

I would be interested! Not promising anything, but if I can fit it in I will.

From:

amaresu

I would be interested in one lecture a week as I just wasn't able to do the two lectures a week.

From:

winterthunder

Cool! Looks like we'll be starting Sunday. :)

From:

mocker

Interested in this. What's the format, how do we get started?

From:

winterthunder

Excellent!

You'll want to start by going to the course site and making sure you have Python (2.6, not 3.0) installed on your computer. I'll be putting up a lecture post each Sunday with links to the video and handout for each lecture, probably along with some questions I had while watching so we can discuss in comments. I'll put up a problem set post with a similar format every two weeks.
