The quality of Udacity courses combined with an updated "Design of Everyday Things" plus Don Norman's direct involvement makes this course sound very attractive. The Udacity "Introduction to Computer Science" course by David Evans, by the way, is excellent. It is the one that I chose for by sons to take online this summer. I liked the balance it provided between pragmatic programming (Python exercises completed and evaluated in-browser) and CS fundamentals (BNF introduced in first lesson, for example). This new design course may have to be next on their list.

- michaelrbock 13y agoI totally agree -- the quality of Udacity courses is the best of any of the online learning options (paid or free). Every time a non-CS friend asks me where to start learning to code online I point them to Udacity's CS 101 (over Codecademy or Coursera).
