Programming is a lot of fun, and games are one of the best ways to get exposed to a variety of different programming tasks. My name is Sean McBeth and I'm versed in many ways of programming, having been working as a professional software developer for over 10 years. In that time, JavaScript has always been there for me. It is a language that everyone can run in some shape or form, thanks to the ubiquity of Web browsers; it is the BASIC of the modern computing era. Sharing that knowledge is important to me, so I am offering a class where everyone learns (or polishes) an extremely useful scripting language (JavaScript, aka ECMAScript, but NOT Java) in a very compelling medium (ahem, games).
All of the "class" materials will be posted online at www.hive76.org. This event is for the one of the weekly "lab sessions" that I am holding at our hackerspace to help anyone who needs a hands-on approach. The online materials will all be free, while the lab sessions will be ala-carte and only each. If enough people show up, we can even do multiple days per week. The class will cover JavaScript in detail (and it is a funky language in which you will learn both amazing and awful things), basic graphics editing secondarily (The Gimp, Photoshop, and Paint.NET will all be on display), and a small amount of anything else I deem necessary along the way (CSS, HTML, DOM, Audacity, basic logic and trigonometry for the arithmophobes). No browser or operating system will be held in higher regard over others, though certain browsers and operating systems will definitely be ignored in order to make that previous statement true (I'm looking at you, Lynx and BeOS). The individual students' progress is going to define the ark of the class schedule, but the first project is definitely going to be Pong: replicating the original and extending it to more modern imaginations. Some other possible projects: Tic Tac Toe, Tetris, some kind of basic platformer/shooter, some kind of basic RPG. That's a lot to cover, and I want to make sure things flow with the class to everyone's interests, so I won't say much more than that.

\t\t\tBio: I started the band in about february of 2011. I was just jamming on the guitar one day when a classmate of mine, michael, asked if he could sing along. Turns out he had a pretty amazing voice. So that lead me to just put together a band last minute for the second annual RKYHS battle of the bands. After only having time for a week of practice we came in 4th place out of about 12 bands. Then in 2012 a friend of mines little brother became a freshman and his sister always told me about how good of a guitarist he was, so I asked him to join. He said yes and joined the band for the next battle of the bands. This past year I decided to try and play bass for the band and I think I pulled it off. And low and behold we pulled off second place.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfdcZ8nGpDM
