Changes

I am Peter Liu. I began teaching C, C++ and Java programming at the School of Computer Studies in September 1998. For my professional development, I want to find out how to teach and learn open source development. It a privilege and honor for me to get ''immersed'' in the open source movement at Seneca.<br/>

Jordan has graciously allowed me to go alongside with his Eclipse WTP class (January-April 2009) such that I may have ''first-hand experience'' on open-source development. I am excited about immersing myself in this culture of ''being open'' in fixing bugs. As suggested by Jordan, I am going to blog what I have experienced in this community as if I were a reporter on the field. What I have experienced for the last two weeks has already affected how I teach JAC444 and BTP400 this semester. Indeed I am using wikis as a teaching and learning tool for the first time in my teaching career...<br/>

Time flies. From May to August, Jordan has again graciously allowed me to take part in his second Eclipse WTP class. As far as I'm concerned, the students in his Winter 2009 class ''accomplished'' a lot. [http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/DPS909_and_OSD600_Winter_2009_Eclipse_WTP_Summary] I'm looking forward to having another ''adventure'' with the Eclipse WTP student team.<br/>
