If you are interested in web related technologies.... you should look to:
- html
- javascript
- php 

Much of the web is running  off of javscript or PHP.

So, to sum up so far, we have:

7 people interested in attending
2 offers to teach
3 offers for rooms
One time suggestion: 9 pm EST (8 CST, 7 MST and 6 PST)
1 offer for archive hosting (that's from me, it would be Wiki format)
1 suggestion to put archives on the NFBCS site Audio and video recordings

If I missed something please add 😊

I'd be interested in attending, assuming my schedule permits. I've done a lot in C, but that was a while ago, so I'm pretty rusty. I've taken some classes on C++ and done a bit with it, but I could definitely learn more. I've taught myself a bit of Python, but I'd love to learn more from a master, especially about those data types that you don't see in C or PERL.
