Re: Clojure Course on Coursera

[Mark Engelberg]

This course -- https://www.coursera.org/course/programdesign -- offered next May will be taught in Racket.  Racket is another Lisp-based language, so you may find the concepts to transfer over to Clojure a little more readily than those in the Scala class.

Brown University is also offering an online course right now, outside of the Coursera umbrella, about writing interpreters, also taught in Racket.

The Scala guys have invested considerable time and energy into making their Eclipse IDE plug-in professional-ready, and despite that, in this opening week they are getting pummeled by posts on the forums with compatibility problems and crash reports.  I remember when F# got integrated into Visual Studio, it took them a full year of effort to polish their existing plug-in into something ready for the masses, even though the plug-in was already pretty good.  It's important, I think, not to underestimate the ease of install and tool refinement needed to make a massively-online course a success.  I don't think Clojure's there yet.

The community should make an own course and not wait till some god appears in coursera.

If someone could host an online learning environment (Google has something new?!)

we could split Clojure into 100 topics. Then we need 100 persons to produce each a 5-10 

min Video. I would coordinate the 100 topics and produce one video. 

We just need 99 other volunteers...Cheers.

Zed Shaw's been working on just such a thing (generic online learning environment) over at https://inculcate.me/ . It's still early, so I don't know if he's even accepting third-party courses just yet, but it might be interesting to reach out to him...

There's this one here: http://mooc.cs.helsinki.fi/clojure, which is run by the University of Helsinki. I haven't done the course but I heard good things about it.

What happened with this? I would really love to make a Clojure course in Coursera... Still none :(
