Life In 19x19

I have just finished the "Elementary Contact" lesson block in GDJ!

Will do! Sometimes the machine says I'm 6 kyu now, but if I slack off my attention, it whacks me back down. I've noticed that as a general issue that I need to work on; sometimes I'll make moves that are bad, when I really know better, because I don't think them through. One of the hazards of ...

Bruce Wilcox's Go Dojo has everything I need for my first objective of achieving 1 dan. I'm just going to work on that for a while, and worry about the "marketing" issues later.

I'm now up to a fairly reliable 7 kyu.

Thanks, Bruce!

I am now confronted with a mystery.

I've been working with Bruce Wilcox's Go Dojo for a bit now, and I can't imagine what it is that turned me off about it before. Either it's significantly improved, or I'm in a better frame of mind to learn, or something, but so far, I just love it.

GDJ doesn't ...

Good points, and probably right. I just haven't gotten to thinking at that level of technical detail yet! I've worked enough in IT security that I do have an aversion to TOTAL dependence on being connected, however. The "Live Update" version probably should be architected along the lines that ...

I'm a long way from worrying what language to use. It may well depend on the preference of the person I get to write the code! Also, there's a lot of Go software already out there, and while some of it's copyrighted, some of it isn't. If there's a large existing code base in one particular ...

Numsgil--

I did, and he already answered. We'll work it out!

Sorry about that! "GFI!" will start out as Windows only also. For the moment, Windows owns the world...or at least the US market. What are you running? The last I heard, all reasonably modern Mac's can run Windows, albeit ...

I went to the link you posted for Bruce Wilcox's Go Dojo, but it wasn't at all obvious how to download/buy the program. The links to the individual chapters point to a convoluted way to buy those, but it's not obvious that those include the basic program.

Is there any convenient way to just ...

I'm not worried about getting it perfect on the first pass...or the second...or the third. My intent is to get something baselined, and then continuously improved over time.

So, it appears we will be pursuing different development paths for this effort. Good luck!

I completely disagree! Or, perhaps, we have a definitional disconnect.

In any software project where the number of possible variations is huge, you have to completely reject the notion of getting it completely "right" the first time. You plan out a series of releases, knowing in advance that all of ...

Actorios:

It is not my intention to delete human interaction from the equation! However, modern education theory is coming around (kicking and screaming, in some cases) to the understanding that the vast majority of "basic" and "rote" education can be done in an automated fashion, and that live ...

I am looking for a Go training program with the following characteristics:

1) Computer based, either on-line or downloadable

2) Full, explicit curriculum. The trainer would have an explicit sequence of lessons, starting from 99 kyu, and leading eventually to 1 dan. It would be reasonably inclusive ...

I'm used to seeing a "Home" button or link in the upper left (less often, upper right) corner of every screen of a site. It took me a while to figure out that "Board index" in the lower left corner serves that function!

Thx,

TCS

It should be expected that the curriculum will be an evolving document, and I wouldn't worry in the slightest about getting a consensus before going forward. The first step would be to put together something reasonably plausible, and reasonably comprehensive, and send it out for comment. In the end ...

I assume "Baduk" is "Go", or something similar? I'm really looking for something online or downloadable, not a physical course.

Thanks for the pointer to that other thread, I'll comment there as well!
