If this was CVS, this would be version 1.1. 

The title is now different. AEENG would be more
appropriate if you're trying to construct an Atari
2600 video game system from scratch. As neat as it
sounds, it's not within the scope of the course I had
in mind. I'll leave that up to someone else more
technically advanced mind then me. ;)

Prerequisite: No programming experience necessary 

I assume that all literature would be taken care of. 

(What literature would be used for this course
anyway?)
