<p style="font-family: Helvetica;"><font size="3">There is a fun, self-paced Computer Science learning opportunity starting its third iteration today. Registration is open all year, but the sooner you get started the more you will probably learn. Here is a link to a video with info about the class: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cvp1lZaE2w">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Cvp1lZaE2w</a></font></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica; min-height: 14px;"><font size="3"><br></font></p>
<p style="font-family: Helvetica;"><font size="3">There are a variety of options for taking the class, ranging from auditing or working for an Edx Honor Code Certificate for free, getting a Verified ID certificate for $90, getting a Professional Development certificate from Harvard for $1000, or get transferrable college credit from Harvard Extension for $2200. Only the last one, for transferrable credit, is structured with a semester long time schedule. The others are all self-paced. Here is a link to a chart with all the options: <a href="http://cdn.cs50.net/2015/x/references/compare/compare.html">http://cdn.cs50.net/2015/x/references/compare/compare.html</a></font></p>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica;"><font size="3">All of the links for enrolling are shown at the top of the chart. It also has links to community forums and other things you may want to check out.</font></p>

<p style="font-family: Helvetica;"><font size="3">I began the class back last July, but with travels, house guests, and the like, I only completed about 1/3 of the course. It was a lot of fun and I really did want to try the rest of the class. But, not to worry, I've re-enrolled and now have until Dec 31, 2015 to finish!</font></p>
