Creating a developer pipeline by teaching gateway technologies
Presented by Marlon Pierce and Suresh Marru

Do you have trouble recruiting and retaining good gateway developers? Common 
challenges include the allure of the cutting-edge commercial sector, academic 
pay scales, and the specialized knowledge necessary for development. The 
Indiana University Science Gateways Research Center is attempting to turn this 
challenge into an opportunity by teaching Web-based cyberinfrastructure systems 
using concepts and technologies that will benefit students in their 
non-academic careers. Such distributed systems require knowledge of both 
classic and cutting-edge topics, such as microservices and “DevOps” practices. 
Meanwhile, the instructors can identify and connect with promising students 
while keeping themselves aware of important trends and technologies. This 
webinar will provide an overview of the material and concepts that we cover in 
the class, describe the student project assignments and class organization, and 
present outcomes and student feedback that we have gotten over the last two 
semesters. We will also discuss possibilities of making the course material and 
instruction available to other interested universities. Course information and 
material is available from http://courses.airavata.org/.

Our webinars are scheduled on the second Wednesday of each month at 1 pm 
Eastern/10 am Pacific. We’ll announce them several weeks before through our 
newsletter and on our website.
