[RTC List] CIS classes Fall 08

[Aaron Antrim]

Hi RTC list:

Sometimes I get tired of learning technical skills by myself through  
books and online resources, and so I've wanted to be able to learn  
with other people through organized classes on the North Coast.  One  
of the resources I've previously overlooked (and I think others may  
also overlook) are HSU's CS/CIS departments.  In Spring 2008, for  
example, they had a course on Python development that I overlooked.   
It is possible to participate in many classes through the HSU Extended  
Education office.

Curious what's on deck for Fall 2008, I checked out the HSU CIS course  
schedule (http://www.humboldt.edu/~oaa/class_schd/fall08/CIS.html)

Here are some highlights.  I've heard Guy-Alain Amoussou does some  
good stuff.

28     Y
                              Campbell, Harold G.

I've encouraged the HSU CS/CIS folks to participate in this list and  
notify RTC of learning opportunities.  I believe more CS/CIS  
curriculum oriented around the 21st century internet age at HSU will  
help local economic development efforts, and I think RTC-HSU cross- 
pollination and communication is a good way to go in this direction.

Cheers!
Aaron

p.s. On this same topic of tech skills development, I recently  
attended Google I/O and Where Camp at the Google campus.  I would  
recommend these events for many on this list in 2009.
