Thanks, I've never publicly shared a Google Doc and didn't know I needed to change that. 3. MIT no longer uses SICP as their intro computer science text. It was too hard. Now its an upper-division course. <i>Make sure that you are practicing coding as well.</i> Do coding assignments of some sort or you're never retain this info. 1. Of course.

Make sure that you are practicing coding as well. Do coding assignments of some sort or you’re never retain this info.

Can I add this blog to the skills doc? 2. You need to change the permission on the Google Doc of your progress so that anyone (or at least I) can view it. 3. I'm glad to know that it's not just that I'm stupid, and that this stuff really is kinda hard. I've made it through 6 lectures on MIT and have been able to keep up well enough so far, but I've started having to rewatch parts of lectures because I don't get what they're saying the first time through. I'm really glad that you're working on this, though. I foresee a future of programming collaboration. Three things:
