This wiki is to help support dialogue between catalogers and coders.

If you are participating in the Codecademy Code Year 2012 project, please add you name to the participants list. They started sending out weekly lessons on Monday, Jan. 9th. You can still sign up, and see the latest lesson here.

Additionally, there is a Twitter list: Catcode. Please send a message to @slmcdanold to have yourself added to the list.

Looking for resources? Check out our Resources page. Feel free to add to it as you find things!

Q&A space: LibCatCode

Discussion, questions, advice (by week)

Q: So, is the wiki and twitter list going to be the only things we're using for this?

A: Nope! There will be a website dedicated for discussion and Q&A launching soon. If you are familiar with Stack Overflow (which, BTW, is a great resource for when you have programming questions) this website will have a similar set up. As an added bonus, you don't have to create "Yet Another Account"(TM) to participate - you can sign on using existing accounts (Google, FB, Twitter, OpenID, etc.). Keep an eye out on this spot for more information. It is now LIVE! http://www.libcatcode.org/

Also, for those of you who want to dive into a more real-time chat environment to chat with like-minded folks, we're also offering a IRC channel, #catcode. If you have an IRC client or have an IM program like Pidgin, you can get on #catcode through the chat.freenode.net server.

Don't have an IRC client? No worries; just point your browser to http://webchat.freenode.net/, and enter the channel name #catcode, your nickname, and you're set. This is probably the best way to get in if your institution is picky about what is installed on your computer or limits IRC traffic.
