College fo free! Kind of…
So I kept hearing about Coursera and finally got around to looking at it today.
A collection of top ranked universities are putting some courses up for people to check out fo free! They’re 5-7 week sessions where you go through a topic, have homework, have quizzes, and receive a “statement of accomplishment” if you “pass”.
I signed up for so many…probably too many, lol…

- Software Engineering for SaaS (Software as a Service) – Now – UC Berkeley
- Introduction to Logic – September 2012 – Stanford University
- Human-Computer Interaction – September 2012 – Stanford University
