Hi,
I saw a new free course being offered by Coursera and
thought it might be interesting to Twisted developers.
Professor Douglas C. Schmidt of Vanderbilt University
is teaching a free Coursera course over the Internet for 6 weeks:
"Pattern-Oriented Software Architectures for Concurrent
and Networked Software"
https://www.coursera.org/course/posa
Prof. Schmidt has been working in distributed systems
and middleware for quite a while, and has written many
papers in this area, including some papers in the 1990's on the Reactor and
Proactor patterns:

http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/PDF/proactor.pdf
Prof. Schmidt also implemented these patterns in the
ACE C++ framework. As someone who in the past has worked
on ACE, I see a lot of similar ideas and concepts
in Twisted. However, working with Python and Twisted is much
more fun than C++. :)
It might be interesting to follow along the Coursera course, and
implement the problem sets in Twisted.
