Class Title: Basic Scripting - Why do we sit on things strange?

Start Time: Wednesday, Jan 30 13:00 (1:00 pm) SLT

Length: 60 Minutes

Location: SLVEC Sandbox (select sandbox on the TP machine when you arrive)

Description: This class is aimed at people who want to script but been too scared or put off by the jargon! Be scared no more!! (I've taught this to ppl that can't rez a box before).

The class involves exploring how avatars sit on objects by default, and ways to make them sit on things a bit nicer. We also learn how to make many people sit on the same object in a uniform way. Great for people making furniture or for people who want to learn more about basic scripting.

Start Time: Saturday, Feb 2 13:00 (1:00 pm) SLT (these classes being held every week at this time)

Length: 60 Minutes

Location: SLVEC Sandbox (select sandbox on the TP machine when you arrive)

Description: Always wanted to learn about scripting but been to scared to try? Don't be scared come along and see what it's all about, but don't blame me if u get addicted :P

Animated textures in SL form the basis of things like running water, awesome artwork and cool dance floors.

Come along and see the scripting behind animated textures to see how they work, so in the future you can make some of your own :D

Class Title: Basic Wiki Editing

Start Time: Saturday, Feb 2 14:30 (2:30 pm) SLT

Length: 60 Minutes

Location: SLVEC Theatres (select Theatre Centre on the TP machine when you arrive)

Description: Wiki's are a great resource for large groups to share and create information together in. In this class you will learn how to create your own profile page on http://wiki.secondlife.com/ and see on board examples of how the code works within the wiki.

Bring along some pre made text which you would like to add into your wiki profile so you can concentrate on how the code works rather than OMG what will I write?!!

It is advantageous to be able to use a web page whilst in Second Life, but don't worry if you can't all examples will be shown on the board. You don't need to be a coder to understand this, it's made to be easy so don't be scared!
