Greetings, I am volunteering to take this particular project. It has all the appearances of something I can do, and something I went through recently in school. I have 25 years of experience in IT, primarily desktop/server administration and I am currently on sabbatical. I had reached a dead end in IT having sinned by becoming specialized in zero touch deployments and customizing/creating MSI installation packages for Enterprise level deployments on thousands of PCs. At least if I wanted to find a job locally. I have hacked a few programs together using Python previously and look forward to doing more work with it.
Now I am midway through a BS degree in Informatics, and looking for projects that interest me and hone skills I have not used as much previously such as programming with Python. Is there an area where I can more of a summary of expectations for this particular section? I had to take three semesters of Math just to get back up to speed before I took my first pre-requisite Math course in Modeling in Algebra, now I am beginning my course on statistics and probabilities. Everything is fairly fresh in my mind and this project would help cement some of the basics deep into my skull as I call upon them here to write something to teach with. During my first semester brushing up on HS level Math, I had a very interesting teacher who taught me some interesting, yet easy ways to get up to speed, one of which was factoring. My teacher also programmed a little, so we chatted numerous times since that class talking computers and teaching methods. He would be delighted to give me a hand, and so both of us will work on trying to get make it interesting, challenging and above all, fun. I have been trying to plow through the last couple months of mail in the list trying to get a handle on how things are progressing. One item mentioned was an API. I would like to find it and see what has already been done with it. I'd also like to see if there is a common set of classes people are going to use, etc. It would be great if there was a common set of classes, declared global variable names, etc. Has this been done? Where also would I find all existing source code for these projects? Who is writing up the documentation on the API and classes? The more information I can find, the better. Thanks to all in advance! -- Doug Glenn FORUM Information Systems, LLC http://foruminfosystems.com _______________________________________________ FourthGradeMath mailing list [email protected] http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/fourthgrademath
