HackSoc, the computer science society
Hello, HackSoc!
 
 
 
 

I hope you're having a good week! This week we have our regular events and a detailed technical talk.

Please note that Board Games and Cake won't be in the Pod this week - see below for details.

The Calendar
 
 
 
 

CoffeeScript - 12:30, Wed 29/01 - Hub Café, Ron Cooke Hub

Our weekly social on Hes East; enjoy some lunch and have a good chat.


Talk - "What's Python really doing?" by Aaron Christiansen - 19:00, Thu 30/01 - The Pod (CSE/082&083)

Python is one of the most well-known programming languages around. Its simplicity, elegant syntax, and huge range of libraries has propelled it to popularity. But what is actually happening when you run your Python code?

Underneath its minimalistic syntax, Python has a huge amount of complex heavily-optimised machinery. In this talk, I'll be taking you on a detailed tour of how Python's internals work, all the way from parsing your code through to executing it as bytecode.


Board Games and Cake - 19:00, Fri 31/01 - TBD

One of HackSoc's oldest traditions, where we play many board games and eat plenty of cake! Members are encouraged to bring their own board games and cake if they enjoy the events.

Note: The Pod is booked for another event this week, so it is unavailable for Board Games and Cake. We are in the process of finding another room; please keep an eye on our Slack workspace.
