Footnotes

[1]  these on-line courses to which I refer are by Steve
Holden, a former Chairman of Python Software Foundation,
worked a lot in the conference business to breath life into
Pycon, DjangoCon, ApacheCon, GosCon and a few others.
We have URLs to the text in the public sphere but work
with StackOverFlow and others to keep the homework
(quizzes and projects) student-facing only, so that they
get the experience of working directly with a mentor, one
on one, no robo-grading, no grading at all, just a gradient,
a learning curve.
