Question

Did you get the OpenStudy email about the Mechanical MOOC thing? I believe I read that their group initiative was kicking off on the 15th of October. Some of us are here on our own taking the MIT 6.189 OCW course completely separate from the Mechanical MOOC thing though. You can find the course I'm taking here: http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-189-a-gentle-introduction-to-programming-using-python-january-iap-2011/ It's the same course they'll be working through in October.

Happy coding!

Yes, the course sequence will start Oct 15, using the OCW materials RoamingBLue points to above, this study group, and Python exercises on Codecademy.
