Update 7/20/20: No more Zoom classes for the rest of the summer (sorry for the cancacellation) but please follow along for the Fall semester and check back here for posts that will "catch up" i.e. fill out the rest of the summer.

Update 6/1/20: The Zoom link for these classes is here. There shouldn't be any password required but if so, send me an e-mail at grace@pixels.io

Update 5/18/20: As of today, I'm signed up to teach CS160A on Chinatown Campus in the Fall of 2020. You can do some searching online to find out what CS160A Introduction to Linux is all about at CCSF. Currently, my understanding is that all courses will be held via Zoom but you can follow updates from the R2C Comittee. In the mean time, due to some requests and my personal interest in bootstrapping a special Raspberry Pi oriented curriculum based off the CS160A curriculum. You can follow along here for a tentative schedule, syllabus and public course development.

Special thanks to Greg Boyd, Craig Persiko, Pat Hanrahan and Dave Brown for their input in the development of this material
