Coursera.org's new offering.

[Owen Densmore]

Its  a bit hard to believe how much progress Coursera is making:

    https://www.coursera.org/

.. they now have Princeton, Stanford, U of Mich, and U of Penn signed up as partners!

For folks who found their initial offerings too heavily on science and tech, they now have far more offerings in the humanities, social sciences, economics, finance, business, healthcare, medicine and biology.  Check out:

And for us compsci folks, Jeffrey Ullman is teaching Automata!  Yes, THAT Jeffrey Ullman!

For those of us who recently were discussing textbooks and education, Aho and Ullman have made their out of print book available on line:

Another surprise for me has been meeting old friends on the forums!  Three of us from Sun Micro took the Algorithms I class.
