These are slides for various talks I've either given or am in the process of preparing. Feel free to reference or use them but please give credit where credit is due. Suggestions for improvement or correction are appreciated, but understand that for the most part this is an archive. Presently all of these slides use Eric Meyer's S⁵.

• Webmaster's Primer- there's a lot of documentation out there for those who want to learn HTML, PHP, or CSS, but I haven't seen a lot of introductory pieces on the "big picture" of being a webmaster, so I gave this talk.
• A brief overview of the EFF- For my CS210 (ethics) class. Presented 2005-02-23.
• The tools series- I'm working on this series of talks about various standard free tools. These are designed to be delivered to students in introductory classes, particularly ECE190, at UIUC. These are all inspired by the teaching style of Sanjay Patel- educating everybody about entire systems rather than just one layer or piece.
  • UNIX intro- not like any other intro you've seen. "The UNIX way", small sharp tools, man, filenames/paths, shells, environment variables, globbing, pipes, processes, signals, permissions, symbols
  • In the beginning there was diff-diff, patch, rcs, cvs and beyond (SVN and proprietary products)
  • VIM-ex, vi, vim
  • emacs-probably get Ari to do this one.
  • email and news
  • debuggers-gdb and ddd
  • build tools-gcc, make
  • LaTeX
  • SSH-perhaps roll this one in with others or cover other network tools with it.
