Scripting School

Kaimetsu · #1 07-01-2003, 09:01 PM

Yep, a school for scripting. Two purposes:

1) Teach the basics of GScript

Interactive lessons would be scheduled (most likely taking place on an IRC server), wherein members of the GST would give lessons on scripting fundamentals. The classes would be divided across various skill levels from Beginner to Expert, and would give individuals the ability to pose questions to the teachers.

For those who miss the lessons, logs would be taken and made available for download.

2) Award certifications

Most managers aren't expert scripters, so it's sometimes difficult for them to accurately judge an applicant's skills. That's why the idea of official certifications was formed. Would-be employees can take part in a scripting test and be awarded a grade based on their performance. These would all be stored by the school and could be passed on to managers at the consent of the scripter.

Personally I think this would be an excellent addition to Graal (even though it wasn't my idea), but it relies on public interest. Learners, we need to know how many people would be interested in attending lessons. Managers, would you be interested in making use of the certification system? Scripters, would you be happy to have your skills graded? Give us feedback or die.

I'd like this a lot. I've been wanting to learn to script for some time now, and the tutorial in the folder just bored me to death. I'd really like for you guys to actually go through with this.

I think I'll enroll if it starts out. I'm not what you'd call one of Graal's best. :P

'sides. I have nothing else to do.

My thoughts exactly. Tutorials are nice, but you can't question a document if you don't fully understand it. It's extremely useful to have a human on hand, ready and willing to elucidate for you.

Maybe those who successfully complete the schooling would receive Graal+ Certification, or so.

That'd be great. I'm not a very advanced scripter, but, under the teachings of the great Kaimetsu, I'm sure I could learn a thing or two.

Kaimetsu, this is prolly the most brilliant thing I have seen from you, good idea. I would love to learn to script better.
