[Air-l] Informal programming learning?

[Alex Kuskis]

David, are you aware of Infed.org and their Informal
Education site http://www.infed.org/ ? There might be
something in their archives. It seems to me that informal
learning also relates to certain communities of practice,
and there might be something in the COPs literature......Alex
