Articron 746 Posted March 20, 2018 So as some of you may know my current IRL job revolves around giving lectures about a wide variety of programming topics. I'm still growing into the teaching role, and I think it would be beneficial if I could improve on this (trust me, teaching is a skill in itself) whilst also helping out the (aspiring) scripters on Dreambot. So what I had in mind is to arrange these online programming "lectures" to help/teach people about scripting/programming. Obviously this isn't "the real deal" as its online and not an IRL class, but I think it would still be beneficial for both me and the people learning I just want to know if there would be an interest in these online lecturing sessions. I'd have like an online voice chat room where I'd explain concepts etc, and give you exercises to work on (which we can revise on the next session) I would chop up the lectures depending on levels: - Beginner: No prior programming experience Class structures Control flow Primitive datatypes - Novice: You wrote your first woodcutting script Enumerations Object orientation (basics) How to read an API - Intermediate: You're planning to pass the S+ test, and thus need to be on top of your game (especially because the S+ test is actually pretty challenging for most now Cx ) Common data structures Polymorphism/inheritance Modularity Bitwise operations (basics) Common pattern designs (in regards to what is useful for scripting) Common java functions that will make your life easier And more... (Can't disclose it all due to test contents) - Experienced: You're planning to pass the S++ test, and thus need to not only be on top of your game, but you intent to join me on an excursion to the amazon rainforest as you descent into madness and despair. Tl;dr: Tackle CS-level topics. Number formats Algorithmic thinking + code translations Advanced data structures Generics More pattern designs Bitwise operations (advanced) Concurrency Functional programming And more... (Can't disclose it all due to test contents) So yeah, any interest in this at all? If its just one person per class then that'd make it not really worth it y'know
Articron 746 Author Posted March 20, 2018 can I start in the novice section please thanks If you're feeling up to it you could be my co-lecturer
oh_my_goth 41 Posted March 20, 2018 Learning's great. I'd love to pass the S+ eventually, so if this is something that happens, I wouldn't not be interested in intermediate maybe perhaps.
Manly 879 Posted March 20, 2018 Would be cool if you made some youtube vids on the topics for the people who wouldnt be able to join the voice channel at the time.
Nuclear Nezz 2107 Posted March 20, 2018 Sounds dope. I'd probably come to a few of them. I also like the idea of recording them all and putting them on youtube.
RetroBot 35 Posted March 20, 2018 I would be interested in this as well, but my schedule is pretty busy. Could you perhaps record the lectures and put them up on youtube as suggested?
artleyz 0 Posted March 20, 2018 I'd be interested in tuning in for these. I'm a CS graduate, but I've never looked into the S+ test... sounds like fun.
