Current Seminar Scope:

Brown Bag Seminars (that means you can bring your lunch):
These seminars are devoted to a wide-ranging selection of technical presentations of interest to the participants. They will start at the beginning of the Fall Semester. In them, participants will make presentations on a variety of topics. The idea is that we will talk about things we are currently working on or are interested in enough to devote considerable effort to make a good presentation.

Texts and Notes:

This spring We will be circulating my copies of the texts:
  1. Beyond Java, Bruce Tate, O'Reilly, 2005
  2. Programming Ruby, Second Edition, Dave Thomas, The Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2005
You may wish to acquire copies of your own - the books are excellent. I've seen them both at Barnes and Noble, on Erie Blvd.

Seminar Location: CST 2-120, Time: Fridays 12:30pm - 2:00pm
