At the risk of making all of HN think I work for Udacity, which I don't, I'm just going to go ahead and recommend Udacity's CS101 "Building a Search Engine" class. It truly is awesome. I signed up late for it and am working through it now. They'll be running the class again starting April 16th. I'm trying to beat the clock and get done in time to take the 200 level classes that start then.

Best of luck!

You know, the title of the class alone is enough to convince me that it's going to be awesome! I have no idea what Udacity is, though. I'm just going to do a search for it. And I just read that post about the lawyer who became a Ruby hacker so I was already thinking, "Right, I should probably learn how to actually build something." So this is perfect! I hope I become part of that upcoming class in April. Thanks!
