I hear great praise for Dr. Philip Johnson and his software engineering class where you work on java/eclipse/ant/cvs/junit. Dr. Edo Biagioni's operating systems class makes you hack on the Linux kernel. > I was hoping for classes in Python or open-source web > programming but I'm not sure if they exist.

You will probably be writing in java for your first two classes. I cannot speak highly enough for Dr. Dan Suthers. Take his ICS211 class if you can. Universities tend to have an agnostic or *nix slant. When I toyed with the idea of pursuing an ICS masters degree, the ICS program was java-slanted. I am not sure how much .NET has influenced things over the past few years. > I was disappointed that the UH web site student login > pages only provided help instructions to Windows > IE/Netscape and Mac Safari users...
