Grades are still being processed it seems. Sorry for the inconvenience, please be patient while I get this straightened out.

Grades still have not been posted, contrary to what I thought would happen earlier. I will be stopping by the administrative offices on Friday to see if I can find out more information on the current status of getting grades up, as I'm sure you would all like to have them by now (given how late in the new semester it is). I'll be posting an announcement as soon as I can find out more.

Due to some administrative hiccups with Sproul, grades will not be posted until mid-late January. There were no failing grades, so if you were registered in the class, you passed the course. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Quick change of plans: Those looking for me for their forms after 7pm tonight can find me in 287 Dwinelle if I'm not in the lab (I have a Board of Directors meeting I had forgotten about, sorry for the inconvenience) If I'm in neither place and it's before 8, I might be in transit between either location. If it's close to 8 (within ten minutes of 8), I'm probably gone for the night. You can still get forms taken care of on Wednesday (and anyone I don't see tonight I will hold your forms until Wednesday unless you email me and tell me you want it earlier).

I've added an FAQ which you can find here. If you have any questions regarding enrollment, course info, etc. etc., please check the FAQ first. If you can't find what you need then, feel free to email me.

The site is currently being worked on, modeled after the website from last semester. CCNs are currently unavailable, but will be posted as soon as I receive them from the CS department. Enrollment is limited to 30, but if you want to show up anyways you're always welcome.
Prior computer experience is not necessary, although it will be extremely helpful. I will make an effort to make this class easy enough so that eveyrone can understand and take something away from the course, and at the same time thorough enough so that more experienced people can learn something new as well.
