Let's use it. Starting in late January, my partner Sara Arenson <sara_aren...@yahoo.ca<mailto:sara_aren...@yahoo.ca>> is going to offer a six week (one evening a week) course in computer fundamentals or software development. Day of the week to be decided. Your feedback will help us choose the specific topic for the course. Tell us what you would like to be taught and are willing to pay $60 ($10 a night) for. Because you're paying, Sara is going to deliver a quality course for this. Each night will feature a prepared lecture and on site hands on lab component. And there will be three take home assignments (one every other week) with individual feedback. And, Skullspace will get a bit of classroom rent as well, so you'll also be supporting the space. Skullspace membership not required to attend. (I'll be there for doors and will use the opportunity to pitch Skullspace membership to non-members) Some computer fundamental course topics she has in mind are: * Intro to (taste of) programming * Intro to the web through HTML and CSS * Information encoding (number systems, text encodings, machine code encodings, colour and image encoding, and other data formats) Some more specific development related courses for folks who already have some basic background like one of the above could include: * In depth CSS * Ruby on Rails * JavaScript * Java * C * Assembler (ARM?) Don't be shy, feel free to propose something else along these lines. Sara is willing to learn and tackle a new topic for teaching if there's demand. Just don't ask for something too hardwarish like Cisco, system administration, computer technician, electronic repair or design, killer robots from Venus*, software radio, computer aided design etc... We'll put a call out for registration when we have your feedback on topics and day of the week. Sara's teaching background includes having been a computer science and math teaching assistant, and a sessional lecturer in computer usage, intro computer science and assembler programming. She worked for a Microsoft sub-contractor in Seattle implementing a libc core in assembler on a new platform and also testing Microsoft TV (dot-com boom days). Here in town she worked more recently for awhile with a company that uses Ruby on Rails and managed to convince them to hire her even though they knew she only had on week's experience with Ruby and Rails. Sara has both a Bachelor of Computer Science Honour (U of M) and a Bachelor of Arts in Theatre (U of W). So, when she's not working on this course she'll be working on polishing the script of her monologue /Teen Trucker/ appearing at: http://sarasvati.ca/season/iww-rise-up/ Mark p.s. * Regarding killer robots from Venus: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nBwZLFp1Lwo http://www.sing365.com/music/lyric.nsf/Killer-Robots-From-Venus-lyrics-The-Arrogant-Worms/2B7B53B31144680248256B2600274D7A http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Arrogant_Worms I am willing to throw in my own a capella rendition of this if it helps... _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Announce Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Announce Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-announce-archive/ _______________________________________________ SkullSpace Discuss Mailing List Help: http://www.skullspace.ca/wiki/index.php/Mailing_List#Discuss Archive: https://groups.google.com/group/skullspace-discuss-archive/ -- Nathan T.
