MIT now has a short course on Network Coding
For those looking for additional info on network coding, you may want to consider the new short course being offered at MIT. It is co-taught by Muriel Medard (quoted in this article). The course goal is to provide participants with the theoretical and practical tools necessary not only to understand the field of network coding, but also to conduct independent, innovative work in the area.
