As part of the continuing series on programming competitions, ACM is running an ACM-ICPC style practice programming competition. It’ll emulate a real competition as much as possible, with teams of 3, real problems, balloons, and food :-). It should be a lot of fun!
When: Saturday, May 24th; 10:00 am – 4:30 pm
Where: 006
If you’re interested and available, please sign up as an individual or as part of a team here: https://catalyst.uw.edu/webq/survey/depstein/236763.
Space is limited, we have room for about 6 more teams. We have a few partial teams, so don’t shy away from signing up as an individual!

ACM Programming Competition Prep: Graph Algorithms
5/8; 4:00pm-5:00pm; CSE 403
Topic: Graph algorithms in their many shapes and sizes
Graphs are an extremely diverse topic, and often times a complex problem can be reduced to a graph. We’ll discuss just a few common graph algorithms and provide plenty of time for implementation and solving problems.

Google Tech Info Session: Web client development in Google Search
CSE403, Wednesday, April 30, 3:30-4:30 pm
Abstract: Web client development is a microcosm of software engineering where the web browser is a virtual machine and where the best developers understand memory management, networking, threading, graphics, and user behavior. This environment is forgiving for simple tasks and supports sophisticated applications from Search to Maps to Gmail. In this presentation I will share several technical challenges in Web client development within Google Search and argue that this is an ideal environment for well-rounded software engineers.
Speaker: Corin Anderson is a Principal Engineer at Google working in search on Visual Search Experience. This team is responsible for everything that makes Google Search look and act like Google Search, from the instant search-as-you-type feature to the excepts shown for each result and down to minute but important visual design aspects. Prior to Google Corin studied at the University of Washington, earning B.S. degrees in Math and Computer Science and Masters and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Science.

Share ideas and build your mobile development network at the MobileUXCamp this weekend!
MobileUXCamp Seattle is an unconference that brings together professionals, academics, and mobile enthusiasts to share the current state and future direction of mobile technologies. Since this is an unconference, it’s cheap, fun, and casual. Share your projects and ideas with other web/ux people from local tech companies. There will be people from Amazon, Microsoft, Blink and other academic institutions, too.
