AGENDA

18:45-19:15 Networking over drinks and pizza

19:15-19:30 Welcome words

19:30-20:00 Develop Computer Vision Apps With Go / Marian Montagnino
Computer vision is one of the strongest drivers of tech innovation today. By teaching a computer to intelligently recognize the objects it encounters, an immense knowledge is gained about the world around us. Join this trailblazing technology; develop your own Go applications for object detection.

20:00-20:30 Announcements, HR lost & found, break

20:30-21:00 Using go to understand the Y Combinator / Jeremy Huiskamp
The book The Little Schemer explains the Y Combinator, but this is a difficult piece of code to reason about for someone new to functional programming. Fortunately, scheme can be translated quite easily to go, so that we can use a more familiar environment to explore how it works.

21:00-end Networking
