TechTalk Series: Instructor Introduction to Centriq C#.Net Career Track

Among other endeavors, I work with Centriq Training as an instructor. Centriq offers both public "corporate" training (typically for organizations sending their employees to learn new skills or gain certifications) as well as individual career training.

Back in February, amidst other projects, I began working on a short video to introduce people to our C# Application Developer Career Track. The track seeks to help people change careers, or upgrade their current background, into becoming a .Net web developer.

If you are interested in becoming a programmer, or in upgrading your programming skills, or you know someone who might be curious, feel free to check out my new TechTalk video on our C# Application Developer track.

I hope to continue adding new vlogs in this TechTalk series as time goes on, so stay tuned. You can also click "Subscribe" when viewing this on YouTube to be notified of new videos on my channel.

On the Road,
Eric J. Reid

KC Coders for Charity 2010 event

Although ORC may not be able to participate this year, I did want to help publicize the Coders for Charity 2010 event taking place at Centriq Training again this year. The 3rd annual event maps web designers and programmers up in teams to various Kansas City area non-profit organizations. The volunteer effort should result in entirely new or revamped web applications for organizations that provide much-needed services in the community, but often do not have the resources to implement web technologies in aid of their work.

If you have coding or design skills and would be interested in volunteering to participate with a team on a project for the weekend (free catered meals, energy drinks, a Rock Band break room, and everything a crazy keyboard jockey needs to beat the weekend deadlines!) please visit the registration page.

Best wishes on the good work!

On the Road,
Eric J. Reid
