Algorithms in Programming Class 1&2 Logs

The Algorithms in Programming classes have been quite a popular class in Ubuntu Classroom! The first was held on April 13th by Marek Bardoński (bdfhjk) and this week, on April 27th, we had Tomek Garbus (tomek204) come in to give a class.

Logs for both of these classes are available:

Fri Apr 13: Algorithms in Programming Class 1 by Marek Bardoński
Fri Apr 27: Algorithms in Programming Class 2 by Tomek Garbus

Marek routinely blogs about the upcoming classes, notes and more at bdfhjk.blog.pl. And you can keep an eye on the Classroom Schedule for other upcoming classes.

OpenWeek ready to go, 2 May – Friday 4 May, call for instructors

The IRC workshop extravaganza known as Ubuntu OpenWeek is ready to go. For those of you not in the know, this is a weeklong (sort of) IRC event where we have instructors and classes on various topics in Ubuntu. The wiki page is now ready to go:

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuOpenWeek

I am looking for instructors (especially those of you who have never given a workshop before) to give classes on Ubuntu. This can range from “How do I use Unity?” to “How do I contribute to Ubuntu development. So if you’re interested in participating, grab a slot or ping me offlist.

Of note, we’ve shortened the “week” to Wednesday through Friday, but the amount of sessions are the same, the days are just a bit longer so we can cover more time zones.

This week the Ubuntu Classroom welcomes Marek Bardoński (bdfhjk) who will be doing his first class about usage of algorithms in programming. It will take place Friday, April 13 at 17:00 UTC in #ubuntu-classroom on irc.freenode.net (#ubuntu-classroom-chat for questions).

Topics include:

• How to use a binary search to speed up common actions
• Search and compare using standard hashing
• The simplest usage of artificial intelligence in your program
