Digital Mitford Coding School, June 27 - July 1, 2017

Dear members of the TEI community,
Please consider joining us at Pitt-Greensburg for our coding school, to be
held June 27 - July 1, 2017, and please share our announcement with those
in your communities who may be interested.

The Digital Mitford team offers an unusual opportunity to gain hands-on
experience with coding and textual scholarship by working with materials
from an active digital project. We welcome past coding school participants
and new coders alike, and participants in the Coding School with interests
in women writers sometimes join the editing team.

Registration is $180 for graduate students and adjunct instructors, and
$300 for full-time faculty, librarians, and editors, and there is no
additional cost for housing on Pitt-Greensburg's campus. Participants are
encouraged to seek support from their host institutions for travel
expenses.

All participants can expect to gain experience with decision-making with
TEI, regular expression matching to construct XML from text and other
document formats, and with XPath and its applications. In discussing the
TEI, I'll also be sharing my experience in the past year as a member of the
TEI Technical Council, working on maintaining and updating the Guidelines.

Those participants wishing to begin with XPath may elect to gain experience
in transforming and publishing XML to build digital editions and process
markup as data for analysis and visualization. We ask that people indicate
their background and what they hope to learn with us in an e-mail of
interest directed to me at ebb8 at pitt.edu.

E-mails of interest should be sent me between now and April 3 so we can
work out how best to plan the Coding School. Registration fees will be due
May 15. For more information and how to apply, please see

Thanks for reading and sharing!
Elisa
