10−Hoon 201 is an eight-week, advanced-level course with a heavier workload. It’s appropriate for graduates of Hoon 101, for those otherwise already familiar with Hoon, and for very experienced programmers of other languages. After graduating from Hoon 201, you’ll have enough knowledge to build applications and contribute code to the Arvo operating system. Expect to devote six hours a week to this class. The next 201 class begins on Month Day.

12−So, if Hoon would be your first language, or you have some experience with non-functional languages, apply to Hoon 101. If you’ve already played around with Hoon extensively, or you’re a seasoned professional programmer, apply to Hoon 201. If you’re on the fence, go with 101; the two courses scheduled back-to-back, so you can enroll in the advanced course upon graduating from the introductory one.
