<br>
A few days ago Rachael of Q college sent the following email to Craig and I.<br>
<br>
Good evening Gentlemen,<br>
<br>
I was wondering if anyone you know or if you are interested<br>
in being a subject matter expert for Q College as we are adding to new<br>
programs to our list.<br>
<br>
<br>
We are considering responding with the following, but before we do are any of you interested in being a Subject Matter Expert for Q College. <br>
If you are let us know and we will send you more details.<br>
<br>
Cheers<br>
<br>

This looks like an awesome program. It also looks very intensive. It will certainly get folks that dedicate themselves up to speed <br>
quickly. A lot to accomplish in a year. And it's doable. The Camosun Information and Computer Systems program is about the same <br>
intensity. The Camosun program has a 1 year and 2 year stream.<br>
<br>
I'm not sure how much I can be of assistance. I have been away from Camosun for almost 5 years and have not really been keeping up with the <br>
needs and best practices and coding standards in the industry. Especially security. I have been too busy learning about and playing with <br>
micro controllers, Raspberry Pi's and the Internet of Things. All for my own amusement without any regard for what the customers or <br>
industry needs. I can though tell you the temperature and humidity in several places in my house and yard from most anywhere in the world. <br>
Not that I can go anywhere in the world right now. I also have control of many of the lights in my yard and house. Again from anywhere. <br>
Even the Christmas lights.<br>
<br>
But as much as I enjoy doing this I don't know if my current "expertise" will be of too much use.<br>
<br>
I did teach an intro to operating systems course using the McHoes and Flynn text. Good textbook. I have some knowledge of web development <br>
and servers. I have also taught an Intro to Computers course using the Shelly Cashman books. Terrible text. If you have a choice, take a <br>
look at D is for Digital, Brian Kernighan. <br>
<a href="https://www.amazon.ca/Digital-well-informed-person-computers-communications/dp/1463733895/ref=sr_1_3" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.amazon.ca/Digital-well-informed-person-computers-communications/dp/1463733895/ref=sr_1_3</a> ISBN 9781530896363. Or perhaps his <br>
newer book Understanding the Digital World <a href="http://kernighan.com/udw.html" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://kernighan.com/udw.html</a> I have not read the second of these. The first I have.<br>
<br>
I would like to help if I can. I think my role would best be to perhaps answer questions and have the occasional second opinion that others <br>
who are more current can evaluate.<br>
<br>
Craig is retired, and unable to work for money at this time, due to IRS restrictions on his US Social Security pension. That said, his work <br>
experiences is in Software Development, and computer networking, more specifically, Carrier Grade Networking. Although the basic nuts and <br>
bolts of networking remain the same, his skills lack the finer details of Windows host network configuration, and may also not be much use <br>
as a SME. Though, like me I'm sure he would be willing to help and answer questions.<br>
<br>
Let me know what you think.<br>
<br>
Take care<br>
<br>
Deid<br>
