I'm going to be teaching an IAP course called "Mysteries of the OLCs
Revealed". The purpose of this course is to explain things about Athena so
that users can help themselves. That is, how DO those consultants find the
answers?
One way, of course, is having some understanding of how Athena is put together.
Another is knowing where there are useful tools, and how to use them.
Here's my draft of the course outline. If you have any suggestions, please
send me mail. (Don't respond in cfyi; I'd rather not have a flood! But I'll
post the updated draft late next week.)
The course will run for two hours each on 1/14 and 1/16. (See your IAP guide
if you want to attend.) Here's the draft. Comments, suggestions and flames
directly to me, please.
advTHANKSance.
