Cobh Coder Dojo, Season 2

And we are back. Slightly later than expected but hey, we have new mentors and new plans :) There are also few changes form the last time we met, so please read on.
This time we are going to run sessions in five weeks blocks, so we do not have to run the same introduction to Scratch lession over and over again. This will allow us to deliver more material in a more organised manner. We are also going to have three separate streams of activities:
  1. Scratch. Scratch is a programming language and online community where you can create your own interactive stories, games, and animations. Created by smart folks at MIT, it allows for gentle introduction to quite advanced programming concepts. This stream is suitable for all ages, but if you did Scratch the last time with us, you might want to choose a different one. You can have a look at scratch.mit.edu to see what can be done with Scratch.
  2. HTML. HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information that can be displayed in a web browser. During this stream you will learn how to create web pages showing whatever you want :) Less programming oriented than other streams, great if you are looking for means to express your artistic self.
  3. Processing. Processing is a programming language and develoment environement, designed to teach programming concepts in easy and accessible way. It is used to build games, visual presentations, and all sort of cool projects. You can see more of them at processing.org. This stream is intended for those of you who are bored with Scratch (and aged 12 and over).
So, have a look around, make decision, and signup for whatever stream you find interesting :)
