Oolite Bulletins

The link pretty much explains it. And here I'd just been thinking I should find a course or two to take this fall.

That's awesome. Think I'll have to look into that...

I've signed up for the notification of when to sign up, since the actual sign-up isn't open yet. I've been wanting to get back into coding and update my skill set a bit, since one of my personal goals is to eventually write an Oolite OXP. I can code a bit, but I learned way back in the "spaghetti code" days of things like BASIC. (Yes, I'm an old fart, I turned 50 this year.) There are courses available at a local school for assorted newer programming languages, and maybe a basic concepts course in AI will get some ideas rolling and help me get up the impetus to actually take a credit course or two on the modern languages.

i hope you've all checked the price of the book you need, before you sign up!

Well, a new copy of the current revision of the textbook is a bit pricey. But they say they support all the revisions (though #3, the current one, is recommended). I found a used copy of revision two online for about 20$, and ordered it already.
