Is keeping up with technology
one of your hobbies in life? If this is the case, Computing Services
Centre (CSC) Forum and Small Talks are definitely your cup of
tea. CSC Forum is a series of seminars conducted during each Semester
for all staff and students. Computer professionals from industry
leaders are invited to give presentations and demonstrations on
their latest technologies. Prior to each seminar, there will be
a formal announcement on the Intranet, e-mail sent to every staff
and student as well as posters on each departments notice
board. CSC Small talks, on the other hand, are usually on technical
matters that revolve around the campus such as Installing
Windows 2000 in CityU, Tips in Using E-mail
and "Simplified and Traditional Chinese Web Pages Conversion".
Depending on your preference, you may join any of them without
any prior registration. The followings are just some of the seminar
topics that may arouse your interest in the forthcoming year:
-
ORiNOCO Wireless
LAN - Your Mobile Broadband Internet Access - Lucent

For many years, these seminars and
talks had been well received by both staff and students. The reason
is quite clear. The entire CityU community believes in life-long
learning and whole-person development. One way of doing so is
to have a good exposure to technology.
