Introducing Lars Gunther

Hi group

I am not new, but have not introduced myself on this list, which might 
be a good idea, since I now have a small favor to ask. (See bottom. ***)

My name is Lars Gunther, and I use the nickname itpastorn all over the 
Internet, since I am also a pastor, as well as a web developer and teacher.

My day job the last 11 years have been teaching comp sci related 
courses, with an emphasis on web design and server side scripting, at 
the secondary schooling level in Sweden (the "gymnasium" - roughly equal 
to sen. high/A-levels).

I have been involved with the Web Standards Project Education Task Force 
since 2006[1] and participated in OWEA, the predecessor of this group.[2]

I was lead developer for the DOM-scripting and Server Side Scripting 
course for InterACT.[3] I also wrote one chapter in the InterACT book.[4]

I have also written every web related course for the entire Swedish 
gymnasium-system. And then some.

**This means that as of now every single student in the Swedish 
gymnasium is required to:**

- Develop using standards and follow best practices
- Make accessible designs and write accessible code
- Make secure applications
Etc.

This is also part of the grading criteria.

Use a translate tool to get the gist of these:

- Web technology = Front End Engineering and Server Side Scripting. 5 
courses.

- Interface design:

- Software design (the process and tools):

- Data storage (both SQL and noSQL):

To aid my colleagues, I am also writing books and make accompanying videos.

Here is the first book:

My request is, that even though the material is in Swedish, would you 
please consider liking this video on YouTube?

My plans for participation in this group is first to update and expand 
my InterACT material.


All the best
