learn job's notation

Post by sam » 18 Apr 2005 06:15

hi footbagers

i'd like to invite people to learn some basics about "job's notation".
those who don't know what job's notation is - read on, i need you!
tricks like mirage can be written in job's notation, a mirage is:

SET > OP IN [DEX] > OP TOE [DEL]

you'll find this notation on trick-specific sites like footbag.org, and also on modified.ca, people talk a lot about tricks, and often they write them in job's notation.
the reason why i want to teach you how to read and write job's notation is that i have to do a project for my studies (informatics, "enseignement assisté par ordinateur"). so i'll use a system called "moodle", it's a kind of virtual class with teacher(s) [me] and students [you].
i promise you that it won't take you more than 1 hour to do the work, but it would be important for me that you can do it within one week (i'll inform you via e-mail, as soon as the project is ready). there will be some exercices to practise and a final "exam" as well as some commentairs on "my work" and if you succeeded to learn "job's notation" or not.

so, the only thing is: write me an e-mail to sam81@footbag.org or a private message on modified and tell me if you're interested. there is absolutely no obligation, i just hope to find about 10 "students" so i can do this footbag-related project for my university (always a good thing...)

see you, sam

well, I already am able to speak/write/read jobs not., but as I'm very good at informatics (wrote my last exam (ABI,LK) on it yesterday) I'd like to know where the informatic aspect exactly lies.
From what I know about it, it's a simple to use (no coding) open-source platform, so it sounds to me like you're doing it for a pedagogic class.

Tell me, what exactly you're doing ! Are you re-coding parts of it ?

Hope my interest doesn't fuck you up...
