Regarding Sandeep Junnarkar’s intro to the JSchool last week:
I’ve been looking for something like those coding modules for a while and dove into the JSchool site to figure out what was available. I found the data scraping module, which has HTML/CSS and JavaScript/Jquery pre reqs. Sandeep mentioned that there’s a short scraping module in January, which is good for folks to take first. It’s more basic, no coding. Jan 8th 9AM to 3PM.
The JavaScript/JQuery module is 2 credits, and then the Scraping module (not the aforementioned) is 1.
Here’s a link to the short Jan workshops: http://www.journalism.cuny.edu/academics/january-academy/#.VHTzAjTF9yK
