Welcome to the class!

Go back to: General discussion

So, I'm still hideously unprepared but hopefully we can make this up as we go along.  I'm going to attempt to hold class tomorrow.  We'll go over mostly web services are and what we're going to do in the course, and then there will be time for discussions and questions.  I'm going to try to do this over skype -- I've heard mixed messages on whether you can do group video conferencing with free skype, but we'll see (or I'm happy to look at other free solutions, if people have suggestions).  My skype handle is k0s666 (lame, I know) so we can try to dial in around 21:00PST.

The slides are here:

There will also be an IRC backchannel on freenode : #p2pu-webcraft/beginning-python-webservices  I've also added this channel to my autojoin list so feel free to join anytime and if I'm around and not busy (or maybe even if I am) I'm happy to discuss things and answer questions.  I'm jhammel, btw.

I haven't figured out a screencasting solution yet, but it's probably not that important for the first class.  I'll probably make classes Tues and Thurs at 21:00PST but feel free to utilize the forums for any sort of discussion.  I plan to!

Welcome again and I hope you enjoy the course!  As always, feel free to ask any questions.

21:00 PST is in approximately 2:00 hours for anyone of us who may be timezone impaired, such as myself. (I saw someone join and part before I could stop them)

I get confused with my timezone and I have arrived late. Could we confirm the hour for everyone?

BTW how was the first class?

thanks

Marc

Great Marc. We had some audio difficulties and so we did it via irc:

Given no-skype or screencast, the first class went well. Sorry about the confusion for the times. Class will consistently be at 21:00 PST on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the future
