iPr0gram — Imperial Programming Lectures


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).
