Hey Brasscatcher, Thats cool you are interested in the course. It would be nice to have someone else take the class so we can bounce ideas off of each other, ask questions, and make comments. Its not a really serious class or anything, its just a podcast that has lectures for each chapter and there is a powerpoint presentations that you can use to follow along. There isn't really any assignments, exercises, or homework just some examples of other people's work you can look at. Although, as you are taking the class you may want to think about writing a business plan in addition to other research.

Let me know what you think after you start and do a couple of chapters.
