**Title**: How to program your way out of a paper bag\\
**Proposer**: [[2013:frances_buontempo]]\\
**Type**: Tutorial\\
**Duration**: 90 minutes\\
**Description**: Frequently programmers complain that people they interview, or
colleagues, or blog writers clearly couldn't program their way out of
a paper bag. This fills me with fear, since I have never tried and
therefore am not sure I can program my way out of a paper bag.
Anecdotal evidence suggests if you can code FizzBuzz that's good
enough. I will investigate the cause of the cry of dismay, quickly
discounting FizzBuzz competence as proof of paper bag escapology.
Demonstrations of how to escape a paper bag will be given, taking
inspiration from machine learning (ML) algorithms as a starting point.
No background in ML is assumed.\\
