Coursera - Principles of Reactive Programming

[Michal Bigos]

Hi all,

does anybody attend the course about 'Principles of Reactive Programming' at https://www.coursera.org/course/reactive?

If so we would like to create a meet-up about the course material and past assignments. The idea is not to form a study group, but rather explain 

Scala features, principles, APIs and to show and compare the solutions of the assignments directly in code.

Please reply to this thread if you are interested? We need to know approximate number if it's worth of the effort.

Yours Michal.
