Presenting an Updated Version of OSS Jobs Talk

I'm giving an updated version of "How to Get a Software Job w/o Experience" at Willamette University tomorrow, 9/24/09. It's a fun talk that I enjoy doing. I updated the SlideShare version, rather than uploading a new version, so the old version is publicly unavailable.

How to Get a Software Job w/o Experience.

This is a talk I gave at WOU last week. I also presented it later the same week at Beaver Bar Camp. In an ideal world, I would have delivered the talk at least a few weeks before the deadline for Google Summer of Code applications. :-( OTOH, maybe some students will join some F/OSS projects this summer, and they can nail the application next year.

Slideshare liked it (but I'm not sure what their criteria are): "Your presentation How to Get a Software Job w/o Experience is currently being showcased on the 'Career' page by our editorial team."

enjoy,

Talk: How To Protect Yourself and Your Computer Online

This is a talk I recently gave at the Monmouth Senior Center. Nothing earth-shattering for techies, but useful information for the non-techies in town.

Speaking on Groovy again

I'll be repeating my talk on Groovy at noon on February 3rd at noon in Salem, Oregon. From the email notice:

This presentation will be in Information Systems Division conference room on the first floor, suite 103, of the State Public Service Building. Here is a Google Map link for the location.

Parking on Court and Capitol streets is the closest to the Public Service Building. The spots are metered.

Maybe I'll see you there,
Charles.

P.S. My slide deck will be almost identical to the last Groovy talk, so I won't be posting a new one.

Jython talk at SJUG

Here are the slides of a talk I gave last February at the Salem Java Users Group - SJUG. Although it looks like it's primarily about Python and Jython, my bigger emphasis was on extension programming - scripting existing Java code. In other words, a form of polyglot programming.

Groovy at SJUG

On January 6th, I spoke at the Salem Java Users Group on Groovy. The premise was not to replace Java, but rather to show how it can be used in addition to Java. Here are the slides.
