Two weeks of Plone Boot Camps will be offered this summer at UNC. Yay! Year Six of Plone Boot Camps at UNC! And we're returning to our original home of bright and cheerful Phillips Hall. Mark your calendars: Plone Boot Camp: Mon Aug 9 - Fri Aug 13, room 332 Phillips Hall, UNC Advanced Plone Boot Camp: Mon Aug 16 - Fri Aug 20, room 328 Phillips Hall, UNC I'll get back to you again as soon as registration is open. Registration will be through plonebootcamps.com, I assume. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From jmack at wm7d.net Tue Jun 8 13:54:03 2010 From: jmack at wm7d.net (Joseph Mack NA3T) Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 04:54:03 -0700 (PDT) Subject: [TriZPUG] Plone Boot Camps 2010 In-Reply-To: <4C0D548E.8050007@unc.edu> References: <4C0D548E.8050007@unc.edu> Message-ID: On Mon, 7 Jun 2010, Chris Calloway wrote: > Mark your calendars: > > Plone Boot Camp: Mon Aug 9 - Fri Aug 13, room 332 Phillips Hall, UNC What prerequistes (zope, css?) are needed to make good use of this course?

That question is best addressed to the instructor as I'm sure these things change from course to course offering. I've seen the course five times and it hasn't been the same once. It just keeps getting better. But not the same. But let's look at last year's offerings: Regular Plone Boot Camp: http://plonebootcamps.com/courses/unc4 "This bootcamp is offered to the general public, and is aimed at: * people with HTML or web design experience * people with some or no Python experience * people with some or no Zope/Plone experience" Advanced Plone Boot Camp: http://plonebootcamps.com/courses/unc4-adv "This course is intended for people who have experience with the basics of Plone site development and HTML/CSS. It will cover what you need to know to take advantage of these new technologies in Plone 3. Audience: * Developers" I bet that this year the wording will change to, "It will cover what you need to know to take advantage of these new technologies in Plone 4." Even though they are exactly the same skills. Plone 4 is really Plone 3.5. But it contains the beginnings of some bridge technologies that will make moving from Plone 3 to Plone 5 easier. Plone 5 has some radical new technologies like drag-and-drop page layout and through-the-web content type definition, and so is a pretty big departure in how Plone sites will be developed. In my experience with these courses, you need to know some HTML and CSS to tackle the first course. I don't think much CSS is expected. But I do think the *results* you will get from class will be directly related to how good of a web developer you are already. People who haven't really developed any web sites before will come to the class and go away saying, wow, this web stuff is really cool. And people who have done a lot of web development already (and no, FrontPage and DreamWeaver aren't web development) will come to the class and go away saying, wow, all that time I wasted when I could have just used Plone. For the advanced course, you need to have developed at least one Plone site. -- Sincerely, Chris Calloway office: 332 Chapman Hall phone: (919) 599-3530 mail: Campus Box #3300, UNC-CH, Chapel Hill, NC 27599 From joel at joelburton.com Tue Jun 8 18:24:26 2010 From: joel at joelburton.com (joel burton) Date: Tue, 8 Jun 2010 09:24:26 -0700 Subject: [TriZPUG] Plone Boot Camps 2010 In-Reply-To: <4C0E5AE9.8050600@unc.edu> References: <4C0D548E.8050007@unc.edu> <4C0E5AE9.8050600@unc.edu> Message-ID: <-8956240569939679127@unknownmsgid> Chris' answer is perfectly accurate!

I am also a senior in computer engineering at NC State (GO PACK!). At work we're having a difficult time finding a compiling our python code for a target Windows CE device with an x86 processor. From my research I've noticed that their isn't a big "need" for this compiler. The "PythonCE" compilers I've found are designed ONLY for ARM processors. I have used a C/C++ compiler for Windows CE (the i386-mingw32ce compiler) which successfully compiled some of our other C code for the device successfully. We then assumed another direction may be to find a Python-to-C or Python-to-Java compiler and then compile the interpreted code for our target x86 device. I have tried ShedSkin, a Python-to-C++ compiler, but it has many problems compiling the code such as it won't compile some of the included libraries we need. This tells me that the approach to "interpret Python into another language and then compile that language for Windows CE x86" may be a bad approach. Any direction would be greatly appreciated!

I'm not sure if a non-DCRI affiliated Duke employee's badge will get them in the building, but if they got over there before they locked the door I don't see any reason why a Duke employee couldn't host it.

I'm hoping you can help. We've got clients in North Carolina, Virginia and Illinois who are in hiring mode and I'm trying to locate a couple of PostgreSQL Database Developers (database developers out of Open Source, Linux environments) and Python Developers. These are great companies - they really care about their people, offer a family environment with flexible and fun atmosphere and they are committed to Open Source (they are NO Microsoft shops). These are the type of companies that I'd refer my friends/family to. We'd even consider very Junior candidates (we only require 2+ years of current professional Postgres or Python experience) and of course mid/senior-level folks. In this day and age, you never know who may have or want to make a change (or might have friends who do) ? so I'd be grateful for your help to get my info into the hands of any Open Source folks you know.
