AP Summer Institutes Underway

My AP Summer Institutes are under way.
The June 6-9 workshop in Houston, Texas was a blast.
We covered tons of material, including Scratch, Jeroo, Alice, GridWorld, and lots of Java.
The food and conversations were great!
It was fun to meet people from all over and make some new friends.

My next AP SI in in Kentucky running from June 27 – July 1.
See all of my workshop dates.

CS Grads Have Many Options

CS Grads Have Many Job Offers

Once again another awesome post about how great it is to be graduating with a CS degree.  Lots of jobs exist if you are graduating with a CS degree.

The following is a great quote from the article – “If you’re a computer science degree holder, this is probably the best year to negotiate hard and maximize that first starting salary”.

I have numerous former students that are pursuing degrees in Computer Science with many of them receiving  job offers well before they graduate.  Some of the offers are basically asking them to quit school and go to work now.
