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 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.
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.
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.
Perhaps you should fix the typo in the who is this for section: "You are the technology guy responsible for the product, whether your title is Lead Developer, CTO, or VP Engineering, or "The technical guy"."

I think y'all meant technology person ;)
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.
I hope they are able to put the classes online after the sessions.
Other than that pretty pumped.
