Open to students and staff at Imperial at all levels, the Imperial Programming Lectures (code-named iPr0gram) is a series of lecturers for people who love programming.
Delivered by a number of expert guest lecturers, the lecture series will cover a range of programming-related topics. The intention is that the lectures should be accessible, assuming roughly the background in programming that is gained during the first year of Imperial's BEng/MEng computing course (and thus digestible by advanced first year students, as well as students in later degree years).
For news and updates about the series, join the iPr0gram mailing list.
For queries about the series, and to provide feedback or suggestions for topics, please contact Robert Chatley.
The lectures are generally on Thursday, 13:00-14:00, during weeks 2—6, in Huxley 311.
