All the good stuff is on the west coast.. I'd murder a unicorn to have this available in Philadelphia.

I hear you. I was about to say exactly the same thing 'cos I'm in Philly, too.

Maybe we should talk? My contact is in my profile.

I agree. Hope the look at my comment as it benefits both us and appacademy.

I'm about to apply and I'm definitely down for the idea of finding living space with others that would be attending.

Its very important for me because I can't afford expensive rent. And I am sure its the same with others.

I teach an intensive "Programming for Bioinformatics" course that, in just about a week, goes from "here's the terminal" to having people comfortable (if not completely proficient) with programming. From there, it's possible to dive into deeper stuff.

Do you have link? is it in college or open to the public?

All our materials are online at: http://intro-prog-bioinfo-2011.wikispaces.com/ (for different years of the course, just change the 2011 to whatever. The current year has not yet been written.

The enrollment is typically about 60% grad students and 40% post-docs in the various Biology departments at UC Berkeley. We'd like to increase the number of people we can support, but at the moment are limited by the instructors time (we are grad students ourselves, and supposedly primarily research focused).
