New navigation — and some hiccups

Miriam Posner

As you may have noticed, we’ve changed the way we’ve structured lessons on the Programming Historian. We’ve been working to include lessons about a wider range of topics than our initial all-Python, all-the-time version, and so we’re experimenting with ways to organize them.

We still have some kinks to work out with organization and display, and we really appreciate your patience as we work through them. In the meantime, by request, here’s a list of the lessons in their original order:

NOTE, 2017-03-17: As many of these lessons and links have changed, not all of these links may be up-to-date. Our most up-to-date listing of lessons can be found on the lesson directory.
