[Tetherless-ugrad] Weds TWed Talk: TWC Bootcamp on the Semantic Web, Triples, Sparql, Javascript and Mashups (Dominic DiFranzo)

[John S. Erickson, Ph.D.]

Attention all TWC'ers --- especially Undergrads!

Dominc DiFranzo will lead our first "TWed Talk" Weds evening (7p-9p),
giving a "bootcamp" on common concepts and technologies used at TWC
including (but not limited to) the Semantic Web, Triples, Sparql,
Javascript and Mashups. This will be an interesting review for
everyone, but is particularly aimed at those new to TWC, especially
undergrads. As will be our practice, Dominic's talk will be
accompanied by live coding and demonstrations.

A special note to UNDERGRADS: We "highly recommend" you show up for
"bootcamp" talks, especially this one. If you can't, please let
Patrick and John know why you can't. This talk is aimed at you and
will be a good opportunity for you all to get acquainted some of the
concepts and technologies that we use in the lab; in other words, it
is designed to help you get up to speed real fast...

TWed Talks
Informal overview talks and tutorials on topics of interest to the
Tetherless World Team. Leaders within the lab have the chance to share
tools and expertise. These sessions are expected to be highly
interactive. Leaders are encouraged to include live "hack" activities
in their session plans.

Hack/Tech Sessions
Informal group work sessions. This is a time when everyone will "be
around" and you can rely on the "right" people being their to answer
your questions. This is also a great opportunity for project teams to
"hack" together on problems, with the knowledge and resources of TWC
surrounding you.
