Teaching
Pretty soon, I'll be teaching at CDIA in Georgetown. This will be a life-long (oxymoron, being as I am quite young) dream of mine to head up a class about a topic I love.
Intro to Javascript
Explaining the beginnings of things is what appeals to me. How to get started is so critical and so many people get introduced to the industry in the worst of ways.
I am very opinionated about the correct way certain things should be done and I don't mind that. Even some of the curriculum at CDIA doesn't agree with me, but I'm sure it will all work out <winkyface>. A tremendous amount of leeway is given to the teacher, which can be problematic as constraints help us focus. Luckily they have suggested teaching paths that are very solid.
It's amazing that a school is offering a course as progressive as the one I'll be teaching. A focus on learning standards, validation to help solve problems, and introducing designers to web programming are all right up my alley.
We'll see how it goes. Hopefully I don't screw up the student's educations too bad.
