Enrolment for the "Introduction to CouchDB Development" course is now
open at http://moodle.wohmart.com/ !
As previously described, this course will get you up to speed in Erlang
(40%), the fundamentals of how CouchDB is implemented (40%), and will
culminate in a small group project (20%).
There will be guest presentations from these illustrious contributors:
* Randall Leeds
* Bob Dionne
* Adam Kocoloski
* Dale Harvey
* Paul Davis
* Benoit Chesneau
* Robert Newson
* Jan Lehnardt
* ...with more to come!
The course runs from 2012.1.9 - 2012.3.20 or so, with a commitment of
about 4-8 hours per week recommended. Also, be aware that this is an
online studio course, meaning it's run entirely online and in the open.
It's 100% free (as in beer and freedom).

non-scripted [*]

[*] If your only programming language is JavaScript, prepare to devote
more time to the course for the first 4 weeks. Moving to Erlang from
JavaScript will take more effort than if you have a background in at
least one non-scripting language.
