Welcome post!

Taking advantage of DW's new community sticky feature:

This is a community for people following along with MIT 6.00: Introduction to Computer Science and Programming, which is part of their OpenCourseWare project; the lectures, reading assignments and problem sets are all free and available online. The goal is to do a first run-through from November 2009 - February 2010, although obviously you can go at your own pace, and it would be great to muster up enough people to support each other on different timeframes (one lecture a week or starting after the new year).

Feel free to join in at any point! No programming experience necessary.

ETA: If you don't have a dreamwidth account but would like one, check out dw_codesharing or drop me a line.

Heeh, I'm very excited about it.

As someone who tried to learn ruby on her own and kinda failed at it, I can't wait to study the theory of programming with other people.

This sounds fun. I think it would be good for me to love programming because I have to take a bloody Fortran class for my major (meteorology, by the way.). I've played with Python but I'd like to learn Perl and Ruby, if only because I am overambitious. xD;
