I am a little more that involved. In ham and eggs the chicken is involved. I am committed, like the pig, having got three of the four classes into production after almost two years' work. So for those of you who may have wondered why I have been on c.l.py only sporadically lately, now you know. The certificate will come from the University of Illinois after approximately 160 hours of study. By the end of the series you should have a substantial corpus of Python code that you have typed in yourself, understand and can discuss with potential employers and others. You will have a fair knowledge of Python and you will be accustomed to test-driven development. > ~Ethan~ > > PS > > Can you tell I've been programming? ;) I would really like to hear from anyone who takes the class. I would like to ensure that it is kept up to date and relevant with continuous improvements, and feedback will be invaluable in helping me to achieve this goal. regards Steve -- Steve Holden +1 571 484 6266 +1 800 494 3119 PyCon 2011 Atlanta March 9-17 http://us.pycon.org/ See Python Video! http://python.mirocommunity.org/ Holden Web LLC http://www.holdenweb.com/ -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
