History of Computing
This quarter I'm taking a class on the History of Computing. This is a distributed course, held simultaneously at UCSD, UWash, MSR and Berkeley. Earlier in a similar setup I have done classes on IT and Public Policy and Homeland Security.
My experience in the past two classes has been good. In particular I really enjoyed the IT and Public Policy class. For this history of computing class we have an impressive ensemble of speakers, including Steve Wozniak, Butler Lampson and Ray Ozzie. To make the class fun (and to make sure I pay attention), I've decided to live blog the lectures that I attend. Tonight is the first class, so be sure to check back!
