I'm a CMU grad student and had to take a class using that over the summer. It's a cool idea, but sort of poorly written. Lots of time-outs, seems to only really work well in Firefox.

this is the greatest stuff on the web; not the cmu open learning initiative per se, but just universities & colleges doing this stuff generally speaking -- berkley, stanford (amazing for this stuff), mit (sort of set the standard) and several other top-tier schools. now i've never formally taken a programming class in my life, but via many of these on-line courses and their accompanying resources, I am now a software developer! i do have two (very unrelated) college degrees, but these on-line courses have definitely changed my life. thanks for the post...i love seeing this kind of stuff!

plessthanpoint5, I'm in the process of doing some research on techniques for learning software development online. Any chance I could email you with some questions? I'm at jake@noteleaf.com.
