PASCAL Hackerspace - AlgoBytes: Algorithms for Hackers!
Website
Description
Topic: Review of material so far by student request: Big O, arrays, linked lists, hashing and hashes.
PASCAL Hackerspace is happy to announce a new bimonthly workshop! One of the core goals of our organization is to provide educational opportunities to people in the information security and technical communities of Portland, and with AlgoBytes we get to do exactly that!
AlgoBytes is an informal workshop series to learn a bit more about the formal foundations of the field of computer science and about core data structures/algorithms frequently used for interviews, whether you've never explored them before or need a refresher.
Each 60 minute session we will focus on a different topic, although we may repeat them if there are requests to revisit material. Currently there will be 20-30 minutes of presentation, a walk through of a problem, usually followed by breaking into small groups to practice. Attending sequential events is probably helpful if the material is new to you, but not required.
Topics announced about 2 weeks in advance
Please bring your preferred note-taking device(s) and preferred scratch paper.
A laptop with your editor & language of choice may be handy for trying out your solutions- especially important if you are prepping for technical interviews, but is not at all required.
The PASCAL board is excited to be hosting this event alongside a very accomplished and brilliant woman in security-
