I'll definitely be working full time and school part time. The program is designed for students who are working full time though as of late, with the economy tanking there are more full time students. Luckily the classes are in a building next to the library.

Yes, my plan was to get the only fifty people who listen to the show talking amongst themselves on FriendFeed. Genius! :-P

Posted to other thread, reposted here: Sorry, but on this point I would not have taken the side of the patrons re: privacy. I totally would have been "the law needs to change" and that we're all so worried about being sued that we're afraid to do anything without permission. If you're at a public event you need to learn that there's every chance you're going to be photographed.

Liz called from pediatrician's office: Simon's growth and weight gain are terrific! He's 11 lbs and has made up for his lowish birth weight (he was 3 weeks early). He got some vaccinations and cried, but not as much as his mommy did. All is well!

So if we were going to actually do that online conference for tech-savvy librarians looking to expand and upgrade their skills, what courses or sessions should be offered? - http://stevelawson.name/seealso...

...offered. That was supposed to end "should be offered."
- Your Neighbor Steve
creating and running your own server would be cool
- Sir Shuping is just sir
I would be so very on board with this. Something on media production would appeal to me, but anything in the lines being discussed sounds great.
- Jason P
I was thinking something (perhaps several things) on using the *nix command line.
- Your Neighbor Steve
Dorothea, I agree. My question was poorly phrased: If we did this *what do you want to learn?*
- Your Neighbor Steve
Ooh, I like all the suggestions so far. Plus I'd like a "ask the experts your really dumb questions" session, or maybe just a virtual booth that's staffed for set hours.
- laura x
Sounds like folks want a hardcore coding session. I'd volunteer to help out with an API explanation/demo/session using Python or PHP.
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
can I second the creating & running your own server? also, something on OS versions of LibGuides...
- ~Courtney F.
It might be helpful to cover server installation of CMS's like Drupal & Joomla
- W!cKeD Eye in the Sky
oooh, I like W!cKeD's idea too....(I haven't had my caffeine yet...maybe I should come back when I have....)
- ~Courtney F.
@dorothea I think I can explain basic REST if people have some preliminary reading (you have to know what http, xml and html are). I also think it would be reasonable (but not necessary) to suggest people have Python or Perl installed if they want to try it out fer real. (Python because you don't need a server).
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
I think a programming session before the api session would be good. That said, I don't think it's absolutely necessary. A simple "GET" request to an api is not *that* complicated to explain to someone with a basic understanding of the web (http, xml & html).
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
I was wondering if sessions like "get comfortable with PHP via the Flickr API" would make sense. I.e., use the specific subject of the session as a gateway into exploring programming concepts. (I don't know--I would be attending, not presenting at this theoretical online conference).
- Your Neighbor Steve
I think a PHP tutorial would be awesome. I am concerned about logistics. It's nicer to get your hands on code, and with PHP, you really need access to a server (even a database server) to make it work well. Versions matter as well and it would be hard to ensure that everyone has a most-recent copy, configured exactly the same as everyone else.
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
I don't know the first thing about APIs, but I'd sign up for this line-up in a heartbeat, even if all I learned was what I'm asking for when I ask other people to do stuff for me.
- lris
Ok. That works. We'll need to include the XML modules as well if we want to actually do something with the api. cUrl probably makes sense too for real world use, except it begins to make things complicated. (explaining security is like drilling for brains -- it's gonna hurt.)
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
And while I'm at it, I think a basic design course (not web design -- design principles & techniques) is essential.
- ɥsıuɐʎɹ
PHP, API, some other code-y stuff...maybe some brush up on your xml, html etc...had to learn the basics but no one makes me do this stuff regularly and I've lost most of what I learned. Also--something with SQL servers would be fun.
- Hedgehog
Please do this, whatever format it takes. I'd *travel* to attend. Well, apart from that money stuff I'd need to pay for it.I'd really want a project to work on and to really take a couple of hours to gt an indepth understanding.
- Kathryn says love n peace
OooOoooo I know! I want John Blyberg to explain to us how to take Open Social back to our own libraries and put it to best use. Maybe doing an install over a Koha database containing dummy patron/item records so that we get to understand how the structure works....
- Kathryn says love n peace
Wow, so many great ideas here. API stuff really appeals to me. Understand the ideas, but not the nitty gritty of "how to". Just getting started working with Joomla, so interesting/useful addons to joomla/drupal would also be very interesting.
- pollyalida
I second the *nix command line tutorial. I'd also be interested in some AJAX and APIs. I've been toolin' around with Joomla for a couple years so it'd be interesting to see what others are doing.

I would just like to give props to Ryan. From my LSW Room exchanges with him, I am sure he could come up with a way to explain some PHP to *anyone* without making them feel stupid in the process. As Iris said, some will be coming to learn how to do something; some just to learn a bit more about how to talk about something they want done. Both would be invaluable.

Publishing podcasts. I can create a sound file and I can blog, but I don't have a clue about merging the two.

@adr also, I have lots of art in my soul, which is why I prefer Ubuntu. Apple makes you conform to their idea of what is pretty.
Is it unreasonable that I am really irritated by people who say, "Wesley Crusher says . . ." when they're talking about something I said?
