Title: Presenting Learn @ Cemetech
Post by: KermMartian on February 25, 2016, 04:38:41 pm
In the theme of education with Texas Instruments' T^3 2016 conference (https://www.cemetech.net/news.php?id=793) starting tomorrow, this has been the week for new educational tools at Cemetech. Two days ago, we announced C programming support in SourceCoder 3 (https://www.cemetech.net/news.php?id=794), which allows you to write C programs for your TI-84 Plus CE in your browser. Now, we're proud to present Learn @ Cemetech (https://www.cemetech.net/learn), documentation to help you use your calculator and program in TI-BASIC, z80 Assembly, ez80 Assembly, and C. We will be migrating other information like our Calculator Documentation (http://www.cemetech.net/tools/) pages to the new Learn @ Cemetech wiki. You can also expect the following information: We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the administrators around the community who have worked with us to make this new resource possible. Equally or perhaps more importantly, we need you to work with us to bring the community the best possible documentation. If you find any mistakes, anything you think should be added, or even new areas of information that the Learn @ Cemetech wiki should be covering, don't hesitate: jump right in and start editing. If you encounter any difficulties, just post and we'll try to figure out what went wrong.

It's a wiki

I am confused as to what the point is in this, instead of updating already existing references making a new wiki? Also what about wikiti, is this meant to "replace" that, too? Also, why not extend dcs.cemetech.net instead?

I think this is supposed to replace dcs.cemetech.net eventually. Also, I don't think it overlaps much with wikiti, which aims at technical documentation rather than teaching.

I can see those two areas quickly merging, though, as  when you learn asm and want to look into maybe which bcalls do what you are already in the area of what is covored by wikiti

I see links to wikiti on the main page. I don't think it was ever meant to replace wikiti, just do the education side, which wikiti isn't about. If there is overlap that happens, it's easy enough to resolve that. Just replace the overlap on L@C with links to the wikiti page.

As Eeems said, this is not intended to supplant WikiTI at all, merely supplement technical documentation with tutorials and a command/opcode reference. If someone were to start writing hardware documentation into the Learn wiki, that would be welcome, but most likely redundant next to WikiTI. Thanks for the kind words, guys. :)

... . Thanks for the kind words, guys. :)
Speaking about thanks, I guess it's our turn (Omnimaga's) to thank you for the huge amount of hard and good work that you insist on bringing to the calc community in general. ;)
