So, is anyone taking part in the http://www.udacity.com search engine building CS101 course?

I am about 90 minutes in, and I feel like they are making it more complex than they need to. Talking about how fast light travels across the processor in 1 cycle, python grammer etc.

It's like listening to Sheldon from the big bang theory.

The educational bits are actually ok, but 90 mins in and just hitting variables. Perhaps it's because I know these basics already, I am hoping it gets more streamlined as the course goes on.

Still recommend it to anyone interested in Python/programming

Finished the first week and the coursework, amazing really seeing as I've been working 15 hour weeks and getting very little sleep.

Was definitely worth watching and taking part in.

I also signed up for the "programming a car" lectures but the programming knowledge needed is well beyond my level of knowledge so far.

Is anyone else doing this?

I was thinking of having a bash at the cs101 course and doing the learn python the hard way book at the same time.

I am doing that and reading through the head first learn to programme with python book and it's good going!

No need not to try it
