A strong finish!
Thanks again to all of you for your support and participation. I clearly never expected to see over 2,000 backers, but it's amazing and encouraging given how much work I'm putting in to make a great course for you all. Given the tremendous number of supporters, I'm planning to revamp the website (which is an ugly placeholder for now) and include a forum - this will be a place where you can get any support you need and discuss the exercises and assignments with me and with each other. Looking forward to it :)
For anyone who missed the Kickstarter, you can now pre-order the e-book for just $12 to receive a download link once the course is available to the general public in early October. If you're not quite ready to purchase, you should still join the notification list to hear as soon as the course is published!

Fletcher - I'm stuck on a Python code snippet right now - Can't wait for this book to come out!!!
Creator Fletcher Heisler on September 22, 2012
Yep, I'm still on schedule for releasing the course at the end of this month. It's almost entirely written already, but I'm going to take the next week to make sure everything is polished up and add a few more practice exercises!
Creator Mike Stoops on September 22, 2012
Any idea when you plan to be finished with the course, Fletcher? Can't wait to see it!
Creator Christopher Ruth on August 23, 2012
Thank you!
Creator Erik Zolan on August 20, 2012
I know it wasn't the most popular choice, but I'm looking forward to the PDF processing section.
Creator Jane "Quotations" Kaiser on August 20, 2012
Fletcher - look how wildly successful this was! I hope you view this as your calling in life if you enjoy writing the course. Thank you for your hard work!
Creator Thomas Perrella on August 20, 2012
Good luck Fletcher, looking forward to seeing the final project
Creator Fletcher Heisler on August 20, 2012
Adrien, I hear you. I'm already making good progress (over 80 pages written), and it will DEFINITELY be published by the end of September!
Creator Ida Celinder on August 20, 2012
As a novice in HTML, I look forward to kickstart my programming with python. (Pun intended)
Great work, and I'll looking forward to learning :)
Creator Adrien on August 20, 2012
I ask you for 1 single thing.
I backed a book exactly 2 years ago. The guy seemed convincing. He still has not finished the book. It will come early next year. This is 6 month to late for me.
So please. Pleeeease. You said september. Keep you schedule right.
Thank you.
