Title: How to program your way out of a paper bag
Proposer: 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.
Roger: Yes - like the slightly zany feel
