Ralph Johnson and I are planning to offer a course on extreme programming
(XP) May 15 - June 9 at UIUC in Champaign-Urbana Illinois. Students will
learn XP by working as an XP team to build a multiuser multimedia system in
Squeak.

There is a course description at
http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs497rej/XP+workshop. See
http://www.xProgramming.com/ for more information about extreme programming.

While the course is designed for UIUC students, others are welcome to
attend the course. Those with experience in Squeak or XP would not have to
attend the entire time to benefit from the course and contribute to the
project. If you are interested in attending all or part of the course
contact me at whitney at cs.sdsu.edu for more details.

If you do not attend the course you can help us out by acting like a
customer. Take a look at the project description at
http://wiki.cs.uiuc.edu/cs497rej/ObjectWeb and suggest features/extensions
to the project. So here is your chance to suggest to a team of UIUC
students to implement some Squeak feature you always wanted. Of course, as
is the XP way, the on-site customer will rank all features (stories) in
order of importance.
