Computer Science from A to Z Using The fastest Highest Quality Paths

Today's fastest path to achieving all of your present and future goals is via Python with the best of quality development environments. The Computer Science Ph.D. program at the University of Michigan started with the fact that Computer Science was changing so rapidly that it was fruitless to try to teach all of the best techniques. Instead all of the foundations were laid deep and firmly in any successful graduate. They could then pick up the best technologies along the way and rapidly shift into any future technology.

This Open Space presentation is about technologies that Johnny Stovall has found to be the greatest benefit for jobs which must be done ASAP and with the highest quality. If you do nothing more than use the computer as a glorified typewriter, you may be surprised how much this talk will help you. If you are a Ph.D. on the bleeding edge of high level top secret research which only you have the talent to do, this talk will hopefully be of benefit to you also.

Each chosen technology will be presented with most of the time spent on the relevant foundations of computer science. We will dive into how to set up and use each technology very briefly. The end result will be that you will leave knowing much more about how to operate in the information age. It is hoped that other highly experienced degreed professionals will attend. At the end we want them to fill in more foundations and more technologies using the same style. Their contribution in this manner will enable me to also go away with a better foundation and the most valuable insight into any missing technologies.

If you live very long, how you make the journey will be more important than all of your present goals. Your goals must change if you are going to do anything significant in the fast changing world where computer science is a backbone to the information age.
