Hi I'm Christian.. I have a tremendous interested in web development
and always have. In fact, I've recently tried to go back to school to
study comp sci and despite being accepted, I can't go back to school
due to my current student loans. When I came across the article on
Mashable, I felt that this could be a perfect solution.

Anyway, I just wanted to inquire if there's a limit to registration
and if so, how will prospective students be selected?

Thanks,
Christian

The courses start two or three weeks after january 8th, which is the
date that the registrations are opened. I don't know, but reading the
recent messages to the list I believe that the mashable article was a
little misleading.

SoW (school of webcraft) is not going to give "a" course, it's going
to give a bunch (last semester were around ten or more maybe?), all of
them are oriented to the web and open web/technologies.

Well, answering to your questions, yes, there is a cap, usually it's
up to the course organizer filter the attendants. To apply you have to
do a "sign-up task", at least in my experience weren't hard, but they
were a good way to know how interested you actually were.

Pablo, What is involved in the sign-up tast?  Would it be a small project?  Or more like a question and answer test
about the web technologies in the course?

Cheers,

David

Hi

 

“What is involved in the sign-up task?”

 

Each course has it’s own prerequisites and sign-up tasks, which are decided by each course’s organiser.

You will find this information on the course page you are interested in (when the sign-up period will be open).

Hi Christian, 
HTML 5 is a strong trend right now and it is starting. 
U should start learning as soon as possible, with the help of P2P or not. 
U can then master it and enjoy being a pro in huge market when it consolidates. 
That is ur time. 
Tchuss.

As Gabriel said, it depends for example for Scripting 101 the task was
to speak about your favourite bash command, on the html5 course was to
make a really simple html bio page, the Web 101 you had to get your ip
address and explain how did you do it, on the processing course there
were some questions... as you can see they are very different and
depends on the course objectives and possible attendants.

Anyway, don't worry ;) just wait for them, usually the sign-up tasks
are flexible, so if you have any question just ask!

Course applications do not open until January 8th. We'll be announcing open courses via this list and on the announce list.

All applicants will need to complete a sign-up task to be eligible to participate in a class, however not all applicants will be able to participate fully. If applicants are unsuccessful they will still have full access to course materials and activity descriptions.
