Can a person work on the other side of the country and still teach a Windows Drivers course? The answer to that question is: “It depends on whether that person is Home enough for it”. The fact of having been given the opportunity to work from home opened up to me the great flexibility of being able to work away from home. Working over the Internet does not necessarily mean working at home.<\/p>\n

I was invited to teach the Drivers course at a study center located in Recife – PE. I could never accept an invitation like that under normal conditions of temperature and pressure, since I work regularly at a company in S\u00c3\u00a3o Paulo, and as if that were not enough, I am still finishing my degree in Computer Engineering in the evening. But now that I have gone Home<\/a>, things are different. Taking advantage of the university holiday period, I went to do my Home Office in Recife and teach the course during the evening.<\/p>\n

A multinational company in the electronics sector hired the services of this study center for the development and maintenance of the drivers that would communicate via USB with cell phones. The original driver was written by none other than Walter Oney<\/a>. I was given the mission of teaching the path to blue screens to this group of 10 students, my largest class so far. How many people who work with drivers do you know? The number of students was not a problem at any moment; I thought it would be harder to manage. All of them interested, hard-working and eager to learn. What was really hard was having to spend two whole weeks staying at a seaside Hotel on Boa Viagem beach and not being able to take a single dip (the first photo in this post was taken from the hotel window). One of the reasons is the constant presence of sharks on the beaches of Pernambuco, with a few exceptions. Another factor was the workload that was adopted. A basic drivers course is normally taught in 40 hours, which is perfect for two weeks, being 10 classes of 4 hours. But in this case there was a need for a specialization in USB devices. That took us two Saturdays, half a Sunday and a lot of energy. A three-week course was given in two. I do not know whether it was the most productive, but my schedule did not allow me the luxury of resting on weekends.<\/p>\n

A frequent question on my blog is “When will the next class be formed?”. At the beginning of this year I imagined I could put together an open class during the holiday period, but the rush that came right afterward, made worse by my trip, did not allow me to get organized regarding infrastructure and publicity. The course for this holiday would not have existed, but in the case of Recife, there was already a closed class and the availability of the resources they offered. The question still persists, and the answer now is going to be that I am getting organized to put together an open class for the beginning of January. Obviously I will publish any news regarding this here on the blog, but I would like to already have a notion of the resources I will have to set aside for it. So, if you are interested in taking part in this class, send me a no-obligation e-mail or leave a comment on this post. My e-mail address that nobody can find is on the page pointed to by this link<\/a>, which is my blogger profile page.<\/p>\n
