the first few days will be devoted to getting everyone set up with linux on their computers.

once you're set up, if you're not sure where to start, i encourage starting with bash/shell and then javascript.

http://linuxcommand.org/lc3_learning_the_shell.php is my favorite resource for learning bash/shell.

http://jsforcats.com/ is a good resource for getting started with javascript. if you finish with js for cats, you can start on the interactive workshops at nodeschool.io. finally, i very much like the book eloquent javascript (full text is online).

hi everyone, james and i (and possibly tom) will be at the hackerspace this afternoon starting around 3PM. if you want to come by and compute together, come by!

Hi, @mk30 - is it too late to join the class?

[mk30]

@OSN3 it's not too late! here's the calendar: cwi.flossk.org/calendar.html

do you have a unix operating system on your computer (mac os or linux or something similar)?

@mk30 that's terrific! I'll be there. Yes, I do. Is it okay if I use Emacs?

[mk30]

@mk30 yes, emacs users are allowed ;)

if you want to catch up on anything that you've missed (or jump ahead or learn anything else), check out notes and videos from past talks we've had at other cyber wizard institutes: http://cyber.wizard.institute/#course-materials (we haven't yet posted any video from the current session)

@mk30 awesome! Thanks for the detailed info. I'll catch up as much as I can. Oh wait, I just noticed that the location is not in Oakland anymore?!

[mk30]

@OSN3 the current session is in prishtina, kosovo. all the information is in the issue title and in the first post.
