I’ll be post­ing use­ful in­for­ma­tion, prac­tice, tu­to­ri­als, re­sources, and all other things vague­ly pro­gram­ming-re­lat­ed here. Soon there will be post­ed a gen­er­al out­line of what’s go­ing to be hap­pen­ing this year, but for now, just let me say that we’ll be work­ing main­ly with web ap­pli­ca­tions and web de­vel­op­ment. It should be pret­ty ap­par­ent from read­ing re­cent tech­nol­o­gy news that the IT world is fo­cused on two main trends right now: web apps and the even­tu­al “web desk­top,” and of course server vir­tu­al­iza­tion. Suf­fice it to say that, after you’re through with this year’s pro­gram­ming club, you should have a very work­able ba­sic un­der­stand­ing of how the In­ter­net works and how to write ap­pli­ca­tions that are web-ac­ces­si­ble.

So with that said, our con­crete goal for the mo­ment is to be­come rel­a­tive­ly flu­ent in HTML and CSS. We won’t learn too much, just enough to un­der­stand how it all works and how to make it work for us. The­se two lan­guages will en­able us to cre­ate de­cent-look­ing web pages and will al­so provide the pre­sen­ta­tion lay­er of our later web de­vel­op­ment work.

Stay tuned for more in­for­ma­tion. I find this all rather ex­cit­ing, and I hope you guys do too!
