  1. Star Wars Origami

    Obiwan Kenobi writes "This has to be the strangest thing I've run across in quite awhile. Star Wars Origami features about a dozen pieces of Star Wars vehicles and characters complete with diagrams on how to make them yourself. And just when I thought this was an anomaly, the links section includes all kinds of great Star Wars Origami, such as this one (dubbed Stare Wares) and this one featuring a wicked Destroyer Droid complete with the shiny metal finish."

  2. Beginning Developers: Free Course from MIT

    arrogance writes "Yes, this has been posted on /., and on Wired (five days after the /. story). But there are occasional postings on slashdot about Where to Start Learning to Program. There's a software engineering course at the MIT site that looks like it covers many of the basics of software development, from OO to testing to documentation. It also deals with a team based project end-to-end, which is a great way to learn, but it might be tough finding two or three like minded people to take the course with. Has anyone tried these courses? Are they any good? Have any slashdotters (is that a word?) taken the course "live"?"
