TechTopics (formerly Options Classes) Meeting
Hi Everyone,
I’m Patrick Eisenmann from the GT Chapter of the Association for Computing Machinery. If you’ve expressed interest in teaching or taking classes in our TechTopics program (which we had been calling Options Classes/Saturday Classes/SIGoptions), then you’ll be excited to hear we”re having a meeting today Tuesday, January 12th in (Edit: CoC 52) at 6PM. (Location may change, but we’ll email and post a sign if it does)
In case you’ve forgotten, TechTopics is a series of lectures taught by students, faculty, or external companies on a variety of topics that most students won’t get in regular classes. This includes languages like PHP, Perl, Ruby, Objective-C, and Javascript; frameworks like jQuery, YUI, GWT, and Rails; and mobile apps for all smart phone platforms. There is, of course, room for many more topics, I’m just listing what’s been popular in discussions
The purpose of the meeting will be to:
- Finalize the format of the classes / Get your input
- Discuss the first class that we’ve already planned (Topic: Intro to PHP)
- Encourage anyone who might want to teach to follow through and plan a class
- Select a new leader of the TechTopics program, since I’ve graduated
- Eat our food
I hope to see everyone there!
