Dear nmglugers,<br>
<br>
This week I will start teaching mini-courses during the glug meetings.<br>
First course will be a primer on plotting and manipulating data files in<br>
Python.<br>
<br>
My 10-hour Python courses are a big part of how I get kids to use<br>
GNU/Linux systems, and these new follow-on mini-courses (which will runn<br>
from 6:15pm for approx. 1.5 hours) are to keep the momentum going for<br>
good principled computing.<br>
<br>
I will probably often get 2 or 1 or 0 students, and I will often also be<br>
able to be glug-ish with y'all.<br>
<br>
Below is the announcement I sent to the "alumni" of my course:<br>
<br>
-------------<br>
<br>
--> Subject: small mini-courses to add to the "serious programming" course<br>
<br>
Dear students and parents,<br>
<br>
I have been putting together a series of small courses that can be<br>
taught in a one or one-and-a-half hour session and which can be taken<br>
flexibly.<br>
<br>
These courses are aimed at teaching how to use computer programming to<br>
enhance the math and science curriculum in middle and high school.<br>
<br>
Some mini-courses will go into straight programming and media, like<br>
audio and video manipulation.<br>
<br>
I will be teaching these courses on alternating Thursday evenings (for<br>
example, I will do one this week, tomorrow!) Not every alternating<br>
Thursday, but I will announce it when I do.<br>
<br>
Time/place will be 6:15pm at Warehouse 21, though the specific starting<br>
time might change. I will announce the starting time.<br>
<br>
The format is "come when you can": you do not have to commit; drop in if<br>
it works for you.<br>
<br>
Each topic will be different, but we will repeat some of them. In<br>
particular, the "plotting and data files" will be a prerequisite for<br>
most others.<br>
<br>
So if you can make it, please show up this Thursday, 2017-04-13, with<br>
your GNU/Linux laptop and we will begin with a mini-course on plotting<br>
and data files.<br>
