Hi there and congrats on working through this course. Most students coming into this class are learning all the formalized truth table/mappings/isomorphism/etc stuff for the first time. I took this class after having failed a

to some degree you're right, commutes are a good way to trade time for rent money. many people don't have that time luxury, sadly, especially if dealing with a 9-5 job, caltrain irregularities and school/daycare schedules. ma

if you already have a tiny vps running somewhere, take a look at gitolite. it's free, it supports multiple users, allows for complex access control, but has a tiny bit of a learning curve attached to it. on the upside, you learn a bunc

i think the question was asking for most of the content publicly accessible but some of the content hidden behind a login. google sites does something like that but i haven't seen any flat-file cms'es that offer it.
