If I may quote from the email I got that references these classes: "I see a lot of tech teams of 1 or 2 people where the lead dev is called the CTO... It's their first time in that role, they've never managed anyone, never scaled an app before... but they could grow into that role and become really successful. Every great CTO started out somewhere, which is why Jean Barmash and I have put together CTO School starting this Monday. We have some great speakers on the way, starting with Jean and Knewton CTO Pete Miron on Monday, and we're looking forward to packing the room with every first time CTO in NYC."

I'm in for the first one...Seems like it could be interesting.

I am nowhere close to being even an architect, forget a CTO but I'd love to know if this is being streamed online. It'd be a very nice lesson for anyone who might end up wearing different hats sometime in the near future.

Signed up for all of them. All the courses are from 6:30pm - 8:30pm so they shouldn't get in the way of other stuff you are doing. There are 5 free courses being offered, 4 of which are on mondays and 1 of which is on a wednesday.

This is a fantastic idea! I hope they are able to put the classes online after the sessions.

  Am trying to find out if there's broadband in the room, if so then we should be able to stream.

    They don't even need to stream. I would be perfectly happy to download the classes.
    - desigooner 16y ago
      It'd be great to have them as downloads ..

        Justin.TV's iPhone app can stream if the need be :)

      I would prefer to download the file over streaming. Please try to record the series somehow. I would even be willing to pay for it. As would others I am willing to bet.

    Got confirmation on the broadband, there’ll be at least one stream here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cto-school-fall-2010 http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cto-school-fall-2010 (sounds like there may be a couple of us providing streams).

  I am one of the guys running it. If somebody volunteers to record, we'd love that; we've been spending all of our bandwidth on curriculum / getting good speakers.

Decided I'd come from Baltimore, it's a reasonable excuse to visit NYC.
