Using Eclipse IDE and Remote System Explorer plug-in to do your homework from any computer! Not using GEdit or Vim, using a real graphical IDE! Arguably the best IDE but we'll leave that debate for the meeting :). Get it up and running and working in 10 minutes. Also intro to SVN and popular SVN clients and what to do with them. Also, more on elections...we need you to get involved!

Ever thought about making your own Facebook, Photobucket, Twitter applications? Ever wondered how Digsby (www.digsby.com) talks to all the websites that they do?

REST API is one of the most common software architectures for "web services" (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) It's a major backbone of some of the big websites. And it's your key into talking to those websites and getting your job done.

Still looking for a something to do over the Summer? Looking to improve your experience and resume? Would you like to be able to place the name "Google" on your resume? Then you should consider applying and participating in Google Summer of Code.

Google Summer of Code is a program that offers stipends for student developers to write code for various open source projects. Google will only be accepting applications from 3/23 - 4/3 (less than a week away and less than two weeks long) so it's time to get ready to apply!
