Let us trim our hair in accordance with Socialist lifestyle. I seem to have climbed on some kind of Communist-Fascist bandwagon. Soon I will be eating wood and dirt in an effort to stay alive, and other such hallowed North Korean traditions.
I have made a decision! I will teach both classes this summer, each as a 4 week intensive. This will keep me occupied, help build up my teaching portfolio, and give me the spare change and time to go to Ptuj, Slovenia this summer.
The first class will be the Python class - all about how to program in python, with excursions into text processing, regular expressions, game programming, cgi, GUIs, networking, software development practices, and other forms of badassery. The second class will be on Advanced Web Development - Web development and deployment covering cgi, cookies, CSS, javascript, web services, XHTML, and more.
I wrote the Python course last summer from the ground up, so it should be less work this year with a bunch of the bugs worked out. Advanced Web Development has also never been taught before, so I get to make it up out of whole cloth, too!
Students had better learn to drink from the firehose if they want to keep up - 4 week intensives are both 4 weeks long and intense. I'll end up working harder than any of them, but I know about it and will be prepared for it when the time comes.
