looking for mentors

Hi,

I'm a student living in nyc area. I've been tinkering around with squeak for a while now and think it's a really promising platform for developing bioinformatics tools aimed at high school students working in biology laboratory settings.

I'd love to be able to receive mentorship and trade notes with someone well versed in the language. I'm willing to teach you how to screen your own genomes and barcode DNA of different organisms if you want. Anyone up for it?

Re: looking for mentors

Hi,

I can't offer mentoring, as I can't say I am well-versed in Smalltalk:
more of a novice intermediate level programmer with an immediate
ambition to become fluent in Smalltalk.

However I find your proposal immediately fascinating, and would be
glad to join you in an online study group: either on this mailing list
or elsewhere. I really want to learn some practical bioinformatics!

Best regards, David

p.s. I see you are a fan of either T.S. Eliot or Iain M. Banks, so an
immediate thumbs up from me.

Hi Sung,

How about you get your start here on this list. Get your basic questions answered. Then move to the Squeak-dev list.
What you're studying and how you plan to use Squeak sounds fascinating. Members of the Squeak-dev list would be very interested in your work.

One thing about mentorship is that is sounds private. At Squeak we'd like to share what your doing (unless part of it is secret, of course) with a wide number of people as a demonstration of how Squeak can be used. Perhaps you'd start a blog to document how Squeak can be used for your work?

I'm sure your questions can be answered here. There are also lots of videos on YouTube for getting started.

Thanks,
Chris

Re: looking for mentors

+1 for keeping it on a public list. I would be very interested and can help if we put part of it in Etoys (but don't know squeak that well). If can do some things in Etoys, it can be used in OLPC deployments.

Thanks,

Stephen
