Topic: Bitcoin Engineering MOOC (Read 595 times)
I have already applied for the course and if many others do the same the MOOC might come a reality.
Stanford starts new lab course on building Bitcoin-enabled applications. Learn how to rewire internet services on the basis of Bitcoin. Prior background in Python within a Unix environment is recommended, but no previous Bitcoin knowledge is necessary.

Stanford may be offering a MOOC version later this year if a lot of people are interested. So if you are interested in the MOOC go here http://bitcoin.stanford.edu/mooc to express your interest.

This is something very interesting. I have signed up for this to become a reality. If we could get more users into it, I am sure that Stanford will offer the MOOC version. Becoming certified in Bitcoin Engineering would be a great addition to your resume/portfolio for future Bitcoin companies/businesses.
I too have signed up for it. But I'm quite poor at all the list technologies so I'm not sure if I can keep up, if the course does become a reality.
I have already applied for the course and suggests that others do the same. Doing so you are helping other people who are interested even if you do not indent to watch it yourself.
Yep, I've signed up as well.
Perhaps I'll learn something new. Perhaps I'll just get a better understanding of what the general level of knowledge is. Either way it should be interesting.
This would definitely be something of benefit. I have already applied for the course and suggests that others do the same. Doing so you are helping other people who are interested even if you do not indent to watch it yourself.

Exactly. In other words, it can't hurt regardless of what they share with us.
The first two weeks of the course will provide a fast-paced introduction to Bitcoin and Bitcoin-enabled computing.
In subsequent weeks, you will build Bitcoin-powered versions of several popular Internet services, previewing a future where services are paid for not by ads or monthly fees but by per-use micropayments. There will be two weeks of open time for you to build interesting Bitcoin projects (the weeks of 1/18 and 2/15). In other weeks, we will provide you with stub code illustrating the basic mechanics of a Bitcoin-powered Internet service. You, as an individual or as part of a small group, will have a week to get the stub code running, add your own improvements, and test it with your peers in an online marketplace.
