Finally had some free time today and I thought I would donate it to the 300$ online Python class I signed up for with O'Reilly Media.
Unfortunately, while the O'Reilly books are great, their online Python instruction is exactly the opposite.
Ellipse, their online version of Eclipse, is buggy at every turn.
Many of the examples provided in the text do not work.
Especially frustrating is that rather than fix these examples the staff told me "Yeah, there are some known issues with the examples. Just don't spend too much time on them if they don't work."
Rather then give out this caveat, WHY AREN'T THE EXAMPLES FIXED? The examples are on a webpage, it's just basic HTML to fix them!
While I always felt the books were a bargain, O'Reilly's online Python class is leaving me felt like I've been swindled.
