I'd like to start a study-group for the new session on Coursera of Stanford professor Tim Roughgarden's "Algorithms: Design and Analysis, Part 1" course:
https://www.coursera.org/course/algo
The first week started on June 29th going to July 5th but is a "soft opening" week to allow latecomers to start gracefully - there are some lectures to watch but no real work. The first "real week" with homework is July 6-11th. Lectures generally come out Fridays and new assignments released / old assignments due on Sunday nights.
The course runs from June 29 through August 29. There is a Part 2 of the course that will start several weeks after this one finishes, if there are enough people interested I'm happy to try this again for Part 2.
This course gets some crazy-good reviews from people, here are some from one review site:
https://www.coursetalk.com/providers/coursera/courses/algorithms-design-and-analysis-part-1
I've taken the first half of part I awhile back, enjoyed it but got busy and didn't complete it, and I want to re-do it this term. Due to the date, I thought trying Mondays (7/13 for starters) after work would be a good option, though I'm open to ideas.
Please RSVP if you're interested! I'll update the event when I confirm a venue.
Oh - the course is intentionally language-agnostic. The up-side to this is BYOL, the downside is no "answer sheet" from the teacher. I'm happy to work in ruby, python, or javascript (the languages I work in), or - we can just as well bring our homework in whatever language we want and discuss them however.

Also, there are oen or two - completely optional - texts that he suggests can supplement the on-line class. If that interests you, they're mentioned in one of the first few lectures. I like the Kleinberg/Tardos one.
