reslThank you! Just finished working on other things for the night and am reading these late - need to get my notifcations working for my IRC client. I have not allowed anything to notify me of new messages in years... But now I have good reason to do that, so sorry for the lag in reply time - I will be better with that soon!00:49

jelknerwow, smohamud, are you up at this hour?10:17
smohamudYes sir10:22
smohamudI was looking at Thomas's commit among other things. Looks good.10:23
smohamudRachel is on the Nova Web Dev Team page10:23
jelknerBut where are you, comrade?10:24
smohamudHe may not have had time or all the information to add me10:24
smohamudI imagine today he'll do it.10:24
jelkneri figured they would add both of you at the same time10:24
smohamudSame10:24
jelkneri'll ask dcammue about that when i see him today10:24
smohamud+110:25
smohamudRachel is more critical because she's interfacing with our partners and whatnot.10:25
jelknerbut you will be too, any minute now, right?10:27
jelknerand when you do, we want you there already10:27
jelknerwe all represent our co-op10:27
jelknerso we all need to be there10:27
jelknerbtw, comrade, i could use your help with the web dev training10:29
jelkneri'm not asking you to do anything10:29
jelknerbut just to be aware of what i'm trying to do, so you can back me up in your interactions with the students10:29
jelknerdcammue emailed me today asking if we are continuing with php today or returning to HTML & CSS.10:30
jelkneri emailed him back asking him "What do you think we should do, and why?"10:30
jelknermy aim is to get dcammue to "own the problem"10:30
jelknerhe will need more experience to really be able to do that10:30
jelknerbut i'm asking questions intentionally designed to help encourage critical thinking10:31
smohamudYes, I will.10:31
smohamudI think we should get it up ASAP10:31
smohamud+110:31
smohamuddcamme is the business manager?10:32
jelknerwe should work towards it, but there are no short cuts10:32
jelkner+110:32
jelkneryes he is10:32
smohamudHow come he's asking about languages10:32
jelknerlol10:32
jelknerwe'10:32
jelknerwe're a co-op10:32
jelknerwe tend to do what needs to be done10:32
smohamudOk.10:32
jelknerone great thing about being a worker owner is you are not locked into a role10:33
smohamud+110:33
jelkneri will focus a lot on the business side of things when i'm there with him in july10:33
smohamudside note: I'm excited about Rachel's sociocracy ideas for us.10:33
jelkner+110:33
jelknershe brings a lot to us10:33
jelknerwe have a great group going into our "launch"10:33
smohamudAs far as what to learn, it really depends. 10:34
smohamudMy recommendation: start from front-end to back-end.10:34
smohamudPHP is something that somebody who struggles to grasp HTML will not be able to grasp10:35
smohamudHTML/CSS is more digestible to get someone going from thinking about programming languages in a way that they see tangible concrete results on the screen. 10:35
smohamud"Oh, I type this and then that button shows up. If I have a typo, it breaks down"10:35
smohamudThat's something much more observable in HTML/CSS10:35
smohamudHowever, it depends - where's their current PHP knowledge10:36
smohamudAnd where' their current HTML/CSS knowledge10:36
jelknersmohamud, i think we need to approach this with what we call a "spiraling curriculum"10:36
smohamudI would need to talk to prospective students.10:36
jelkneri try to use backwards design10:37
smohamud+110:37
jelknerwhat are the outcomes i want to achieve?10:37
jelknera broad understanding of how the web works10:37
smohamud+110:37
jelknerso i only introduced php now because i wanted them to see html/css/js in terms of how it relates to the "big picture"10:38
jelknerfrom the conversation, i realized it is better not to push too hard on that now10:38
jelknersince they are not fully ready for it10:38
jelknerno harm done10:38
jelknersince we will spiral back here again10:38
smohamud+!10:38
jelknerso yes, it's time to get back to front end10:38
smohamud+110:38
jelknerwhere they will have a certification exam to pass10:39
smohamudI like that. They say to skim all chapters of a book to retain what you read better.10:39
jelkneras a concrete measure of their skills attainment10:39
smohamudThen, start and deep read from the beginning.10:39
jelkner+110:39
smohamud+110:39
jelkneroh look, here comes thomasboimah 10:39
jelknerGood morning!10:39
smohamudOk, this certification process is interesting. Curious what certs they're seeking.10:40
smohamudGM Tboimah10:40
jelknersmohamud: they aren't seeking them, i am10:40
thomasboimahgood morning10:40
jelknerhttps://edube.org/study/html-essentials10:40
smohamud+110:40
jelknerhttps://jsinstitute.org/wde-certification10:40
smohamudThey're taking the exams, though.10:41
smohamudYes?10:41
jelkner+110:41
smohamud+110:41
jelknerthis is the cert cjones offers in his web class10:41
smohamudTboimah - I was v happy with your commit and have a couple questions.10:41
jelknercjones and i have a good relationship with the vendor10:41
jelknerand we like them10:41
smohamud+110:41
jelknerthey were the first to offer recognized Python certs10:42
jelknerPCEP, PCAP10:42
smohamud+110:42
jelknernow they are branching out10:42
*** thomasboimah has quit (Quit: Leaving)10:42
jelknerbtw, comrade, thanks for showing up here10:43
jelknerthis is starting to be what i hope it will become10:43
jelknera place to "hang out"10:43
jelknerand run into people unexpectedly10:43
jelknerthat will lead to organic development of our work, and our relationships10:44
smohamud+110:44
smohamudYou made it easy, it boots without me opening it10:44
smohamudlol10:44
jelknernice!10:44
jelknerthat's the way to do it10:44
jelkneri'll be here during the early shift10:44
smohamudI enjoy bumping into people unexpectedly.10:45
jelknerso i'll get to hang out with the insomniacs ;-)10:45
smohamudWe have our work cut out for us. The more we harmonize and synergize, the more effective we become.10:45
jelkner+1!!10:45
smohamudlol10:45
smohamudSo, when we're in jetro, is the convention to limit to jetro-related talk or novaweb + jetro10:46
smohamudAs much as limiting can be done, at least.10:46
jelknerthat's a great question10:46
jelkneri have hexchat configured for all 3 of our logged channels10:46
jelknernovawebdev, jetrowebdev and sjcompute10:47
jelknerbut since jetro folks are here most often10:47
jelkneri tend to converse here10:47
smohamud+110:47
jelknerweekends its different10:47
jelknerzOnny makes things happen in #novawebdev10:47
smohamudfor the sake of analyzing our records later, and not confusing interested parties, we should prob make an effort to distinguish between the two.10:48
jelknerok, i gotta get ready for incoming students10:48
smohamud+110:48
jelkneronly for meetings10:48
jelknerotherwise it doesn't matter10:48
smohamud+110:50
