#2Looks interesting.
Also, check out the link to "CS 373: PROGRAMMING A ROBOTIC CAR".
By the way, in that video, Sergey Brin looks older and really tired!

#3Why do none of these classes ever seem to provide enough information about the actual content?
For example what programming language will be used in this class?

Indeed, he does look REALLY tired!

The course will use Python. There will be more detailed information posted about the course soon, but I'll try to answer any questions you have here.

#6Week 3 is "Crawling the web" (the whole Web??!?) and Week 4 is "Responding to search queries"; shouldn't "Building an index" be somewhere in Week 3.5?
Do people need to learn how to build a search engine for the Web, complete with crawling and PageRank, etc., or do they rather need to know how to build a search engine for a specific corpus of documents that they have sitting around somewhere...?

I guess week 4 would go like "to answer the query X we go through all the data, this is slow, so let's build an index"

Week 4 is mostly about building an index.
The point of the class isn't for people to build their own personal search engine to actually use, but to use the experience of building and understanding a search engine as a vehicle for introducing computer science and programming.

Really looking forward to seeing how you approach this. I've spent years configuring, debugging and modifying Nutch and Lucene code and have always wanted to start from the beginning. Seems like a good time!
Good luck, and we'll be watching!

"but I'll try to answer any questions you have here."
ok so here is a question.
How do you plan to let people online actually program a robotic car? (More likely) Do you plan to have some kind of simulated environment? Make hardware accessible through the web? actually run student programs on hardware (and send results back to students)? Make datasets from actual car sensors available?
I am just wondering about the scope of the course here. More information would be great.
Tangential: Does anyone actually write Robotics code in Python? All real life examples I've seen (that actually drive robots vs teach an algorithm) uses C/C++.
