Well, it's not not not False. You think O'Reilly would publish lies on
their web site? :-)

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.

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.

 Steve
