My friend Neil posted this article earlier today. Got me thinking. Enough so to post again after a couple of months. The article is about Harvard's popular CS50 course. David J. Malan took over and redesigned the course in 2007 and it's been his ever since. This year, Malan is on sabbatical and the course is being taught by Henry H. Leitner who was one of the instructors prior to Malan's reworking of the course.

We're spending a little under 2 weeks in the Netherlands. Figured, mostly correctly that it would be a touch cooler than NYC. First couple of days were tough with the temps well into the 90s but it's cooled off since and should be much more comfortable for the rest of the trip even if it's a little rainy. We spent the first six days based out of the Hague with day trips to Delft and Gouda.

Recently within my alumni community there was a discussion of Founders School - a private for profit school which is a specialty school under the umbrella of Alpha School. The deal is that at Founders school, tuition is $150,000 a year which is higher than the $30,00 to $75,500 for the other Alpha Schools but they're offering a tuition back guarantee if a student hasn't started a business that has returned one million dollars in gross profit by graduation.
