Episode #211: Classic CS problems in Python

Summary from the Podcast website:

“Many of you studied computer science at a University to get into programming and your careers. But I bet most of you came through some self-study or some sort of back door into the industry. I count myself among that crowd.

This is one of the true bright spots of our industry. That we can earn our way in without necessarily getting college degrees. But sometimes that academic formalism would come in handy. That’s where David Kopec’s book comes in super handy. It’s an approachable and quick into to CS and that’s our topic on this episode.”

“”This week’s show is a long one, thanks to both Google I/O and Microsoft Build happening this week.

We explain what it means for consumers, the industry, and for developers. From there we move to the privacy one can expect in Amazon’s Echo products and generally what Amazon knows about you. We also talk about the new Amazon Blink XT2 indoor/outdoor wireless camera. The enterprise gets a lot of love from Microsoft at Build with new conversational talents, a way to migrate old embedded devices to the modern Windows 10 IoT OS and support for robots and Windows 10 IoT.
