[Baypiggies] Python OOP course through UCSC Extension

[Travis Ruth]

Hi BayPiggies,

I took this course with Irv last summer and found it to be great.

I'd highly recommend it to anyone who has some python experience but is
struggling with or would like to learn OOP.

Irv is a great instructor and a swell guy.
