ANNOUNCEMENTS
FSI DECEMBER CLASS SCHEDULE This Coming December, NYLXS and the Free Software Institute is rolling out a whole new set of classes and some new instructors. The New Schedule is at http://www.nylxs.com/classes/class_registration First, I'd like to thank Peter Norton for taking over the Unix 2 Shell Scripting Class. I rarely get to tell Peter what I think of him :0 Peter, while we sometimes disagree, is a thorough, diligent and extremely well versed Free Software user who covers with precision an amazing amount of ground in System Administration and Programming topics. While he's been the point man for many years on NYLUG, fielding dozens of questions, this is the first chance, that I'm aware of, where he gets to teach in depth and breath, in an organized fashion, both Unix skills and Networking prinicples in the Unix 1 and Advanced Networking Classes. The FSI is happy to Have Peter on board as an instructor and we are looking forward to workign with him to carve out the upper levels of our program and to add a new entry to the NYLXS communittee resources. In addition, we are offering Introdcution to C Programming, by either Billy Donahue, or myself, Ruben Safir (or both of us). Billy is just the best damn C programmer I've ever met for someone of his age. Billy lights up a room where ever he stands, and if anyone doubts his capability, they must have missed his C and TCL inservice. One of the most intense ones we've had to date. Marco, our resident Mutli-Media Guru, is giving Unix 1 class. Marco is just one of the good people, and very knowledgable. He's been a god-send for NYLXS. Anyone who wants to repeat this class and who has taken it previously, is welcome to sit in again. Marco is also giving a Class on the GIMP. Many of us use the GIMP, but nearly none of us are professional artists. Marco is :) Take this class and have your arts freidns take it too!! You won't be sorry! Lastly, Perl2 will be given. Anyone who has taken this class and wants to repeat it is welcome to sit in, no charge. Perl 2 focuses on Object programming in Perl, basic Database and Apache Programming, clusres and more. All the funds for these programs are used to help advocate Free Software in Business, Education and the Arts.... So come join us, and help yourself in the process!
