Prototyping an interaction for teaching command-line operations. The idea is "learn by doing", so the student must type the command approximately as written to continue.

Stupid little webserver for controlling my Raspberry Pi cheerlights/lirc remote. Rife with bad ideas (unbounded memory usage, passing inputs to shell commands, woo!), but works nicely and compiles beautifully to ARM using goxc.

My notes from Web Afternoon (May 2013, Augusta GA)

dr. leslie jensen

  • Nowaday's being a generalist is more important than being a specialist.
  • Soft skills vs technical skills
  • Schools traditionally focus on tech skill
  • Design work requires more soft skills -- Writing, design, communication, organization, planning, collaboration.

Sho moved away from a successful professorship to start a program to address those problems. She said, "It wasn't something that I wanted to do, it was something that I HAD to do."
