Hi, Thank you for sharing this link, this is an inspiring talk. Her audience is a little different (companies that use DVCS to manage teams and code review), and I would argue that her approach, in many ways, is the opposite of how SWC teaches it! For example, she says that starting with "git init" is "not exactly the most useful way (...) and generates more questions than answers." [7:20]. Instead she spends most of the time discussing with the learners their/their team's workflow to then "start with the whole ideas to solve real problems." [13:05]
Her workshops are very focused on teams "most of your problems are social problems - how do you work with your team" [13:30]. I'm not sure how much of her inspiring approach we can adopt in our setting where most of our learners (I believe, I don't have the numbers) are the only author and maintainer of their code. Still, I think there is are several pieces that we could take from this talk! Happy Friday indeed :) Bernhard On Fri, May 15, 2015 at 7:47 AM, Jonathan Strootman <[email protected]> wrote: > I found this video from the recent http://git-merge.com/ conference. > > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYhHi8yK-Is > > The instructor states that she is a self-taught teacher, but she takes an > approach to teaching Git that seems really similar to SC's approach to > teaching. > > I've only taught Git beginners so far, but there are A LOT of great ideas > and approaches which are very much inline with SC. > > Thoughts? > > Oh, and Happy Friday!! > -- > Jonathan D Strootman > > _______________________________________________ > Discuss mailing list > [email protected] > > http://lists.software-carpentry.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss_lists.software-carpentry.org >
