CIT 590 students: I am sorry to hear that CIT 590 has been cancelled for this Fall semester, but CIT 591 is already overfull, and I cannot accept any non-MCIT students into it. Please don't even ask!

If you are seriously interested in learning to program, okay with not getting college credit for it, and have the time to spare, a MOOC such as this Coursera course might be right for you.
