That's about right. The school servers are located at deployments which
do not have access to the internet and so must rely on open educational
resources which can be hosted locally. The proectbernie site is intended
to show what content is available from the school server loaded from the
BERNIE hard drive. Naturally, this is done by linking to the source site
on the internet. At the deployment,streaming is minimized, instead
videos are downloaded to the XO laptops so that they can be viewed
independent of the school server, e.g.when a user takes the laptop home
beyond the range of the local area network.

It would seem "representative of" is different from streaming 700 gig
to whomever, so maybe it is a menu frontend to see what is on the
menu, then you order the 1T drive, it arrives, then you have the videos...

Hi,
I visited Introduction to Web Technology under the Web
Technology track. (http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html)
I chose the first chapter Getting Started, competed all the
sections. I was navigating to next section through a next option
on top of the page. It has a prev/index/next option. On the last
section of first chapter, when i wanted to go to the next chapter
Markup basics , the next option was not working. I clicked on the
index option, thinking it will take me back to the list of
chapters page( http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html),
however it took me to the home page (http://www.projectbernie.org/
<http://www.projectbernie.org/>).
So i again had to go to the list of chapters page to select the
new Markup basics chapter.
Maybe, this could be improved and a hyperlink direct to the list
of chapters (http://www.projectbernie.org/explore/web.html) can be
provided on the last section of the chapter or every page in the
chapter, so that students can select and change the chapter easily.
Secondly, Eloquent javascript chapters are giving Internal server
errors. I tried first few, they were all giving errors.
Thanks

The Project Bernie website has been updated
(www.projectbernie.org <http://www.projectbernie.org>).
This site provides a representative view of what a school
server loaded from BERNIE provides
to an XO at a deployment.
The update releases the first edition of the 'hands-on
computing' courses in the Explore section of the Class page.
There is an introductory course that introduces the Bash shell
in the Terminal Activity, shows how to navigate the file
system, and use the nano text editor. It is expected that
learners would work their way through this one before
beginning one of the tracks.
There are three tracks each introducing a text programming
language: Python, Shell Scripts, and Javascript (with HTML5
and CSS3).
There are two proposed projects for GSOC15 which are intended
to augment the Web Technology track: Web Confusion - the first
course and Interactive Javascript Shell - the second course.
I would appreciate any feedback so that the offerings can be
made more useful. Special thanks to Al Sweigart
(http://inventwithpython.com/) for his three books on Python
for kids, William Shotts (http://linuxcommand.org) for The
Linux Command Line, and Evan Goer for “The Pocket HTML
Tutorial <http://www.goer.org/HTML/>” which they have made
