Through my time at Uni, I (hopefully) gained a reputation as a Java hater. Since then, I've been cast into what is (in some ways) a personal hell, by writing Java code full-time, developing apps for the Android platform. One thing I've discovered as I've looked into Java more is the inspiration it has provided to other areas of technology: technology that has been inspired by Java, but has built upon its good parts, and rejected its bad parts. This talk looks at how Java has influenced modern software design, and how modern software design has come to influence modern Java.

* When: Wednesday, 24 September 2008, 1:00 PM * Speaker: Christopher Neugebauer * Skill Level: Any, Python knowledge desirable but not necessary In October 2008, two new releases of Python will be unleashed on a mostly-suspecting public: Python 2.6, a continuation of the current Python series, and 3.0 (also known as Python3000), the release in which the Python Developers break your code, confuse your development processes, cause global chaos, destruction, and other exaggerated, not-generally-nice things. In this talk, I?ll quickly cover some advanced Python techniques in the hope of making the rest of the talk more bearable; I?ll then discuss new additions to Python appearing in 2.6 and 3.0, the backwards-incompatible changes introduced in 3.0, and overview of the process of porting code from Python 2.6 to 3.x. The talk will be aimed at people who don?t necessarily have experience in Python, with a focus on learning Python in a world with parallel releases. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 5056843 http://blip.tv/file/5039056 Technology Tue, 19 Apr 2011 00:54:31 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-Python3000591-674.jpg ]]> Python 3000 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 596F9FD2-6A1E-11E0-97EF-B9402B89A064 http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/strategy-gaming-concepts-5056806 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 5056806 5039019 file TV-UN 0.0 2011-04-19T00:45:40Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 2829 g7ANgrTTCgI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgrTTCgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post5056806&skin=rss Tucs-StrategyGamingConcepts317-721.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-StrategyGamingConcepts317-721-890.jpg Creative Commons Attribution 2.0

Speaker: Paul FenwickFacebook. Your friends are using it. Your workmates are using it. Chances are you’re using it. Facebook is already well known one of the world’s most popular social networking platforms, but it’s also rapidly becoming one of the world’s most popular application platforms too.The popularity of Facebook applications is unsurprising. They’re easy to write, as well as being easy to share and install. However most users remain unaware of what information can be accessed by their applications, and more surprisingly, by their friend’s applications.Join researcher Paul Fenwick as he examines just how much information he can extract from friends using only the Facebook API. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2729226 http://blip.tv/file/2709339 Educational Mon, 12 Oct 2009 03:07:14 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-FacebookPrivacyStalking20839-721.jpg ]]> Facebook Privacy: Stalking 2.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 08DCFA3C-B6D9-11DE-8FDC-B72358F4CDBC http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/an-illustrated-history-of-failure-2729174 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2729174 2709287 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-10-12T02:43:34Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 2199 g7ANgabKOgI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgabKOgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2729174&skin=rss Tucs-AnIllustratedHistoryOfFailure340-314.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-AnIllustratedHistoryOfFailure340-314-786.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0
Speaker: Paul FenwickThe average individual is given little scope for failure, at least not the type that really matters. The opportunity for catastrophic failure, that influences nations or continents, has been traditionally reserved for royalty, parliament, and others in a position of great leadership. However in recent times we have developed a profession who have the opportunity to fail like never before. A profession that can make mistakes that are so monumental, so wide-reaching, and so costly they can shake civilisation to its very core. This elite group, rarely seen by every day society, are the foundation upon which modern society depends. The few, the proud, the Software Developers. Join us for a voyage of discovery as we examine some of the world’s greatest software failures, from ancient times to modern day. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2729174 http://blip.tv/file/2709287 Educational Mon, 12 Oct 2009 02:43:34 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-AnIllustratedHistoryOfFailure340-314.jpg ]]> An Illustrated History of Failure http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 F3248186-A41A-11DE-A8B0-CF2B87CB2475 http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/tucs-tech-talks-18-september-2009-2637232 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2637232 2617294 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-09-18T06:17:32Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 2620 g7ANgaD8FAI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgaD8FAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2637232&skin=rss Tucs-TUCSTechTalks18September2009401-18.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-TUCSTechTalks18September2009401-18-44.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
Title: How to Use Your Camera Phone, Properly Presenter: Christopher NeugebauerVenue: Centenary 473 (Hobart), V137 (Launceston)Time: Friday, September 18, 14:00 This talk is about how to take good pictures with a camera phone, focusing on some simple compositional techniques applicable to many camera phones, including Apple’s iPhone. We’ll also look at some of the features that have crept into the recent iPhone revision, what its marketed features actually do, and how you can exploit them.

Tech Talk: (MORE) PS3-related Ramblings Presenter: Jonathan AdamczewskiVenue: Centenary 473Date: Fri. September 11 @ 14:00Last time he rambled about drawing fractals with a PS3. This time, he’s rambling about the same thing.Mandelbrot fractals are embarrassingly easy to parallelise, and while they look pretty, drawing them quickly is not - in the scheme of things - especially difficult. So, because he likes a challenge, Jonathan will be talking about his experiences in rendering the Buddhabrot using the Cell BE processor, on the Playstation3.With pretty pictures, complex mathematics and platform-targeted program decomposition, this talk will have something for everyone, perhaps. ]]> http://blip.tv/file/2617292 Educational Fri, 18 Sep 2009 06:10:27 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-MOREPS3relatedRamblings289-137.jpg ]]> (MORE) PS3-related Ramblings http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 C1966DD2-981C-11DE-8903-8ECAC386A2B3 http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/how-to-write-an-emulator-2568195 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2568195 2548214 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-09-03T00:00:14Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 3427 g7ANgZzgZwI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgZzgZwI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2568195&skin=rss Tucs-HowToWriteAnEmulator354-469.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-HowToWriteAnEmulator354-469-948.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
Presenter: Tony GrayVenue: Centenary 473Time: Friday, August 28, 14:00Modern CPUs are so fast that they can comfortably emulate systems from the early days of the personal computer in software alone, and there are freely available open-source emulators for almost all of the early systems, such as the Apple II and Commodore 64. But writing your own emulator is a heck of a lot more fun than using someone else’s - it can be a great personal challenge, it’s a terrific way to learn and understand the technology of modern computer systems, and it will totally earn you at least one kudos. This talk covers the process of writing an emulator from first principals, and is unlikely to include any references to bacon. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2568195 http://blip.tv/file/2548214 Technology Science & Technology Thu, 03 Sep 2009 00:00:14 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-HowToWriteAnEmulator354-469.jpg ]]> How to Write an Emulator http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 BF2A2DF0-8ADD-11DE-84F9-909B459CE5C7 http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/tucs-tech-talks-14-august-2009-2502848 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2502848 2482834 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-08-17T03:26:26Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 3442 g7ANgZjiJAI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgZjiJAI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2502848&skin=rss Tucs-TUCSTechTalks14August2009552-506.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-TUCSTechTalks14August2009552-506-85.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike 3.0

Presenter: Christopher NeugebauerTalks about Functional Programming (FP) tend to suck; that is, they feature a lot of apparently vague, hand-wavery material, and follow a very consistent theme of Say how good FP is ??? Learn Haskell Of course, very few of us can actually be bothered learning Haskell (me included), and hence ignore everything covered in the talk, leaving everyone in the dark about the wonderful joys inherent in the material covered.This talk is different, whilst it is a talk about Functional Programming, it does things differently — instead of presenting techniques put out of your reach (say, by forcing you to learn Haskell), it will present FP techniques that can be readily adopted in languages you already know, including, but not limited to, C, Java, JavaScript, and Python. Exciting! Topics covered will include an introduction to First-class functions, closures and list and stream processing. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2126679 http://blip.tv/file/2116130 Educational Fri, 15 May 2009 09:27:56 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-FunctionalProgrammingScienceMathsAndComputor132-306.jpg ]]> Functional Programming: Science, Maths and Computor http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 A90142D6-3DEC-11DE-973E-CB38A4D3B382 http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/ps3-development-2107198 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2107198 2096722 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-05-11T05:29:12Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 2585 g7ANgYDPIgI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgYDPIgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2107198&skin=rss Tucs-PS3Development769-51.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-PS3Development769-51-301.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
Presenter: Jonathan Adamczewski Venue: Centenary Lecture Theatre When: Friday 1 May, 1PM Inside every good games console is an unusual processor that doesn't seem well-suited to general purpose computing. That doesn't stop people from installing Linux on it and attempting all sorts of seemlingly ill-advised projects. This presentation will include an overview of the PS3 hardware with particular emphasis on the features that make the console's Cell Broadband Engine processor particularly unusual and very fast, and will introduce some programming techniques for making good use of the architecture, demonstrated through the optimisation of a simple graphic renderer. Jonathan Adamczewski is a graduate research candidate at UTAS, and uses his PS3 purely for research purposes. Honest. His first ill-advised Linux installation was onto a Commodore Amiga 1200 from a large number of floppy disks sometime in 1997. ]]> YahooPartnerVideoID Blip post id 2107198 http://blip.tv/file/2096722 Educational Mon, 11 May 2009 05:29:12 +0000 http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-PS3Development769-51.jpg ]]> PS3 Development http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/ -42.90350778728119 147.32666015625 2DFBF698-3DED-11DE-946A-D62580C0A69E http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks/photography-number-things-2107206 tucs 371621 tucs tucs-tech-talks TUCS Tech Talks http://blip.tv/tucs-tech-talks http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-picture430.png 2107206 2096730 file TV-UN 0.0 2009-05-11T05:32:55Z English Tech 0 0 0 Tech & Gadgets Tech & Gadgets 2 1881 g7ANgYDPKgI http://blip.tv/play/g7ANgYDPKgI http://blip.tv/comments/?attached_to=post2107206&skin=rss Tucs-PhotographyNumberThings425-177.jpg http://a.images.blip.tv/Tucs-PhotographyNumberThings425-177-604.jpg Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0
