If I may quote from the email I got that references these classes:

"I see a lot of tech teams of 1 or 2 people where the lead dev is called the CTO... It's their first time in that role, they've never managed anyone, never scaled an app before... but they could grow into that role and become really successful. Every great CTO started out somewhere, which is why Jean Barmash and I have put together CTO School starting this Monday. We have some great speakers on the way, starting with Jean and Knewton CTO Pete Miron on Monday, and we're looking forward to packing the room with every first time CTO in NYC."

I'm in for the first one...Seems like it could be interesting.

I am nowhere close to being even an architect, forget a CTO but I'd love to know if this is being streamed online. It'd be a very nice lesson for anyone who might end up wearing different hats sometime in the near future.

Will the classes be put online at some point?

epc3• 16 years ago

Am trying to find out if there's broadband in the room, if so then we should be able to stream.

rbanffy• 16 years ago

They don't even need to stream. I would be perfectly happy to download the classes.

epc3• 16 years ago

Got confirmation on the broadband, there’ll be at least one stream here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cto-school-fall-2010 (sounds like there may be a couple of us providing streams).

I am one of the guys running it. If somebody volunteers to record, we'd love that; we've been spending all of our bandwidth on curriculum / getting good speakers.

lizzy• 16 years ago

Perhaps you should fix the typo in the who is this for section: "You are the technology guy responsible for the product, whether your title is Lead Developer, CTO, or VP Engineering, or "The technical guy"."

I think y'all meant technology person ;)

Jean: I'll be there, streaming to http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cto-school-fall-2010

Signed up for all of them.

All the courses are from 6:30pm - 8:30pm so they shouldn't get in the way of other stuff you are doing.

There are 5 free courses being offered, 4 of which are on mondays and 1 of which is on a wednesday.

This is a fantastic idea!

I hope they are able to put the classes online after the sessions.

siculars• 16 years ago

Sounds like fun. Signed up. See all you New Yorkers there.

ojbyrne• 16 years ago

Decided I'd come from Baltimore, it's a reasonable excuse to visit NYC.

PhrosTT• 16 years ago

The same form 5 times was fun

Other than that pretty pumped.

juliamae• 16 years ago
