Re: [eclipsecon-na-program-committee] sessions for beginners

[Martin Lippert <mlippert@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hey!

I am starting the beginners bootcamp setup at the moment. Therefore I setup a Google Docs (“EclipseCon NA 2015: Beginners Bootcamp”) that we can use to discuss the structure and to manage contributions/responsibilities.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GNwOpojoasumogXeQV-f0jeLqojXFaoTfhlS_QrjDTU/edit

Feel free to take a look, sign up for a certain part of it, add more content, and so on.
I will also start to ask people directly if they would like to get involved (from outside of the PC as well as inside).

Cheers,
-Martin




>> My suggestion is that we target someone new to Eclipse who is doing Java development. The focus is on making them productive with the tools. I would imagine potential topics might include (in no specific order):
>> -        Debugging
>> -        Building with Maven
>> -        Plugin development
>> -        Tips and tricks for using JDT
>> -        Git integration
>> -        ????
>> 
>> Hopefully other people have some ideas??

> I like the idea of having a slightly more focussed bootcamp. And the focus in Java makes sense to me.
> 
> But aside from that I also like the idea of those small-sized little bootcamp stations where you can learn how to get started with Eclipse for Android, Python, JavaScript, Spring, and C++ (to name just a few).
> To me if feels like a separate session. What about having one main bootcamp (how to get started with Eclipse for Java) for 2h or so, followed by small bootcamps in parallel for 1h about the small topics, more in the style of sitting around a group of tables then? That would make up for a 3h session in total.

>> For the RCP app development, I would suggest that is a tutorial proposal and not make it part of the boot camp.
> 
> For the main Java-focussed bootcamp:
> - would leave RCP out of this Java-centric bootcamp
> - would leave writing plugins for Eclipse out as well
> - add a section on Mylyn (issue tracker integration, etc.)

>> Hey all --
>> 
>> I noticed nobody has added to my tab in the spreadsheet -- below is what I have scribbled.
>> 
>> Can we discuss on the email thread or can people take a moment to contribute feedback / ideas to the tab in the google doc?
>> https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zZ8N-VHqhEshmGnuKIqri-4hsDtFB_GmuRKXLR4EpyM/edit#gid=306129870
>> thanks!

>> 
>> Office Hours 
>> a room with tables (labeled) of experts in various areas. This could be towards the end of the boot camp day, or it could be separate.
>> Tables could include: RCP, Java, Python, Javascript, Android, IoT, EMF; tables could mirror lunch tables?
>> RCP development
>> a boot camp to start from scratch and end with an RCP app? Maybe make a new example one and contribute it to public wiki / tutorials?
>> Java debugging
>> Audience should already know how to code in Java, focus could be on best practices with debugging.
>> Python development
>> Show how to configure Pydev, how to debug local python scripts / applications and how to connect to remote environments for debugging.
>> Javascript development
>> Android development
>> Continuous integration / infrastructure
>> discussion of CI and tools to support it
