Re: Instructor wanted

[Alex Blume]

Frank,

I also mentioned to them that their course syllabus is called "Perl CGI",
but looks like a class on the CGI.pm module, not Perl CGI.  I recommended
to them that they focus more on Perl and CGI, less on that specific
module.  They responded and said the instructor has freedom to modify the
course material, so it might be a cool class to try and teach.

And definitely, degrees have nothing to do with being a good programmer or
a good teacher. (-:  I have my BSCS to throw around in case there's
trouble, but work experience should be king.
