Courses to initiate

[accakks]

Lets list some courses that we can initiate this semester. These can be:

• Courses : The ones that require student enrollment. Lectures > 2
• Extra topics/sessions: Independent. Required lectures <2. Enrollment would subject to respective topic. For example, Introduction to Git may require only enrolled students. But an Informative session on GSoC won't.

A proposed list of courses we already had prepared -

courses

• Intro to Git and GitHub - so that the future lectures and sessions can be completed with ease for assignments and rollouts
• Introduction to Web and Android - are most fascinating, covers half of the industry, easy to learn at a beginner stage, tutors know the stuff well and good.
• Introduction to devOps and cloud part - easy to deploy services, databases etc
• iOT and embedded part for robotics and such people

sessions, topics, meetups

• linux sessions involve - shell, networking, ssh(engineering part)
• open source tools - flow, mocha, webpack, bootstrap, jQuery
• new techs in the river - kotlin, cloud tools etc
• meetups - js, python, android

Let's finalise on courses and content @maddhruv @amritsrivastava alongwith details & timeline , so that we can start looking for mentors for each. #19 And they get time to prepare. We'll also need to talk to college authorities in July itself.

@accakks submit a PR named CD201.md And that shall be the course for this session

@maddhruv @accakks @amritsrivastava What about these? Django, Building API's using django-rest-framework And python for data science ( data analysis, visualization via numpy, pandas, matplotlib, seaborn, plotly etc) And basic introduction to ML models via scikit-learn and their intuition?

[amritsrivastava]

@aditya98ak we are planning to include these topics too, you will soon get notified about these.

@amritsrivastava Cool, will be waiting for it!

[accakks]

@aditya98ak Can you propose 7-9 lecture plan for your proposed course. Include basics of Python

@accakks I can propose a course 'Fast Track to Python' that will be sufficient to explore python-frameworks. Is that fair enough? and after fast track to python. We can pivot to Django or data-science. What say? @maddhruv @accakks @amritsrivastava

[accakks]

What I was talking about is maybe just one 1-1.5 hour lecture for Python introduction. You'll just have to introduce basics.

A separate course might not be necessary.

You can check out design of web course on CD101.

It can be 8-9 lectures.

See after classes, there would be resources for self study, and assignment to learn what class was all about. There'd be 2 classes per week only.

I don't think Python needs a whole new course.

If you're focused more on data science etc you can maybe propose Python frameworks as an additional session.

@accakks Okay, I'll share a doc for the course(s) and one 1-1.5 hour lecture for Python introduction.
