Description

The Advanced Programming Seminar Series meets each Wednesday from 12-1:00pm in SEO 1000. Each week, a seminar participant leads a discussion related to system programming; topics may include debugging, profiling, packaging, revision control, and programming language techniques for developing reliable system software. Pizza is provided.

The purpose of the seminar is three-fold:

  1. Sharing knowledge about relevant topics
  2. Improving students' ability to present technical material
  3. Increasing the interaction between our computer science labs

A typical session will include:

  • A prepared, 30–40-minute talk presented by a student (or faculty member)
  • 10 minutes of questions
  • A quick critique of the presentation
  • A social period for the remaining scheduled time

Please email the coordinator W. Michael Petullo if you are interested in presenting a topic or have any questions.
