Subject: [cs-ugrads] Camlistore/Go, Thursday 3:30 in Gates Commons
To: Researchers <researchers@cs.washington.edu>, cs-ugrads@cs.washington.edu, cs-grads Mailing List <cs-grads@cs.washington.edu>
Brad Fitzpatrick, CSE undergrad alum (’02), and this year’s college alumni early career achievement winner, will be giving a talk in the Gates Commons (CSE 691) at 3:30 today (Thursday), in the normal colloquium slot, but not the normal location. Brad developed memcache to support the exploding user community at LiveJournal, a website he founded; memcache has since become the foundation for most social networking web sites.
The talk will be on Camlistore and the Go programming language, two projects Brad has been working on recently at Google. Camlistore is a zero-delete content-addressable file system for personal data. Go is a strongly typed, multithreaded variant of C.
So, come find out what you can do with a UW CSE degree. Snacks too, or so I’ve been promised.
