[PD] [PD-announce] 5th year - Composing with Pure Data ws in Sound in New Media curriculum

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

Hey Koray, Andy, and all,

Glad to hear your courses went well! I just read my course reviews  
from my Dataflow class last semester, and it sounds like it went well  
from the students' perspectives.  I find the hardest and most  
important thing is coming up with fun, interesting, yet simple  
examples for class.  It would be great if we can share class  
materials, here's my syllabus:
