[Baypiggies] College course in bay area?

[Glen Jarvis]

Andy,

     We have at least four other instructors here at BayPIGgies. They  
do send announcements to classes and they do this quite often and  
professionally. Hopefully they introduce themselves to you.

     I've only just started planning a course very similar to what  
you're asking for. It's very self-paced, but we work together on  
assignments and you'll be assigned actual homework to 'drag you  
along.'  It's a complete beginner's course. This one is free however,  
since it's a 'dry run' for me in teaching a Python course. But, you  
may need to supply your own laptop during class.

     The problem has been there's a good number of people who want to  
attend but who are down South. However, because the original people  
asking for this class are in SF and because it's a dry-first run  
(very informal) class, this may work for you.

     My course will be a complete beginners course, and will most  
probably be at the Civic Center Library in SF. I work at UC-Berkeley,  
so it'll have to be a reasonable distance for me to get there in time  
too... Let me know if you're interested.

      And, again, there are several other people who have been doing  
this longer and are in a college setting. I've heard a few speak and  
am impressed with their classroom demeanor...  Regardless what you  
pick, you're in the right place to get help :)

Cheers,


Glen
