    posted message: Added a link to the Google App Engine tutorial - this is invaluable to the CS253 student. It's been revised recently and really supports the areas that Huffman (253 instructor) skips over. https://developers.google.com/appengine/docs/python/gettingstartedpython27/ Go here first and you will be rewarded in the Udacity course

    posted message: Hi Everyone, I just thought I would share this for benefit of folks enrolled in the CS253 Web Apps course at Udacity. I enrolled and struggled through CS253 in Spring 2012 - I believe it was the first time it was offered on Udacity. It's been revised since - and I'm hoping to take it again this Spring. This group will be / could be a place to share our experiences and get / give help.

    posted message: Winter is coming! That's a perfect time to learn to make web apps with Steve Huffman and the Udacity team at CS253. Let me know if you are planning to do the course, or if you have a public place to discuss your experiences.

    posted message: Hi Gang, Thanks for your interest in this study group. My vision is a break-out group from the Udacity discussion forum. They are great, but they seem to be geared toward the advanced students. Beginners and 'Slow and Steady' learners are welcome here. I'm hoping to build some close relationships and really help each other to learn. How? Text discussions are crap. Are we in 1999? Let's share video clips and get in Google Hangouts or other screensharing app. I figure we can ask questions or do 'code walk thrus' together. Let me know what you think. Is this a good idea? How can we help each other?
