Machine Learning Class

Both Stanford and Harvard are offering free online courses. They have a machine learning class starting in February that I'm going to be taking. Here is the email you get when you sign up for the class:

Thank you for signing up for the Machine Learning online class (http://jan2012.ml-class.org). The class will start in February 2012, and we will contact you again via email before the class starts. Feel free to forward this email to your friends who might be interested in Machine Learning or any of the other classes offered. See you in class in February 2012! Andrew Ng Machine Learning

I'll be posting updates as I work through the class. Another class I'm considering is Human Computer Interaction but I'm leery of biting off more than I can chew; most likely that means that I'll be taking that class next quarter instead of this one.

Facts and Fallacies of Software Engineering by Robert L. Glass
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

A lot of interesting stuff in this book. I was surprised to find that so much of what seems like current material has been around for so long.

I found this book referenced in Code Complete as a good intro book to software engineering, I would agree with that assessment. This book makes for a good complement to Clean Coder, in particular the "facts" regarding maintenance.
