Is this class going to be appropriate for an absolute beginner of
microprocessors? I took the Dorkboard class last month at FreeGeek and I
don't think I learned much about how to work with these kinds of things. I
learned how to build a Dorkboard but that is all...
I'm a web developer, so I understand coding to a certain degree - would I be
lost in this class? I really want to learn how to use microprocessors in my
artwork - but I have no relative experience.

Which is, if anyone doesn't know, a pretty amazing deal. I'm excited for
this and I hope I can make it.

Cool! I love ARM.
That said, what's the big reasons someone would want to move from AVR to
(small) ARM? No *nix, but is there networking? Cool video/sound features?
Advanced peripheral connectivity? Something cool we can do with all that
extra CPU power?
Thanks,
Aaron

Is the ARM on the Maple Bacon 32bits?

If you have web dev experience you should be fine and in fact it should be perfect.
When Dorkbot had access to PNCA on a monthly basis I used to do 3 to 4 follow up classes on applying the arduino to various domains (sound, motors, etc with some code smattered here and there) but since then I have expected people to find their own way and hoped that the community would pick up some of the slack. This fall and winter I am teaching an 8 week course through pnca where I will have the opportunity to expand on things a bit more deeply (https://cereg.pnca.edu/p/adult/s/130) however a body can only get so much into a 3-4 hour workshop.

The point of the the Maple bacon is to try to make the arm accessible in a way that leverages an existing community. Leaflab's has taken a lot of the pain out of working with the arm while still giving you full access to it and working with another existing framework, Wiring(/Arduino) to make it easy to learn. The past year Wiring and Maple have been working together to create a unified platform with the advantages of both.
I have arrived at this platform through my own frustrations with the gap between scratch building, and having it all done for you.
In the class I will try to cover c(++) programming as recommended by the maple team and work on some of the stumbling blocks that I have come upon applying my experiences in an embedded environment. I come at this as someone who is not an EE but rather an experienced (though busy and not particularly brilliant) programmer who has learned most of his lessons the hard way in an artistic and professional capacity.
I hope that this class serves both those looking for a little more depth in embedded programming while still being accessible to artists and musicians.
As always with new things there will be stepwise refinement.
Hope to see you there.
Don.
