[Phoenix-pm] Fwd: UG News: O'Reilly School of Technology Launches; Discount for Group Members

[Scott Walters]

Hi all,

Okay, I'm moderately impressed that ORA is going through a real
University rather than trying to launch a distance ed thing from
the ground up (do all the work, keep all the money, suck at it, etc).
I need to look and see if they make you learn algorithms and work
through the dragon book.  If so, I'll be really impressed.  Anyway,
if you're looking to spruce your resume or move into technology
(about 8 years late, aren't ya?), this could be a good deal.  And
ORA sends us books, as you know if you've made a few meetings.
And I'm not above selling ya'll out for free books >=)

Hi,

We're excited to release the following news. Please share with your
members if you think they will be interested:

The O'Reilly School of Technology has officially opened its virtual
doors with educational offerings for students looking to further or
launch their IT careers, whether they aspire to become alpha geeks or
not. The school is a unique partnership between O'Reilly Media and the
University of Illinois.

Students can earn a Certificate for Professional Development from the
University of Illinois Office of Continuing Education upon completion of
a selected series of courses. Certificates are currently offered in
Client-Side Web Programming, Linux/Unix System Administration, Web
Programming, Open Source Programming, and .NET Programming.

Courses are offered at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels.
Whether students take the courses individually or with a certificate in
mind, the completion of each course earns Continuing Education Units
from the University of Illinois, and count toward the certificates that
include that course.
