Everyone is welcome to join us in Nottingham for a day filled with inspiration, solidarity and compassion.

In this workshop presented by Panagiotis, we will go over the basics of C++ as well as some good practices on how to write good code with it. Although prior programming experience isn't required for this workshop, if you know a language like C, Java or Javascript it should make things a bit easier for you.
Having down the fundementals of C++ and containers it's time to put that knowledge to good use. And to do that we introduce the STL algorithms as well as go over the patter...ns that you need to know to build your own. Some of the algorithms we will go through include:
sort find/binary_find erase remove_if for_each min/max lambda expressions how to write your own algorithms for containers

In the second worshop it's all about containers. Containers are the building blocks of any C++ program and as such they are very important. More specifically we will go ove...r the following:
array list vector queue stack map/unordered_map set/unordered_set how to build your own containers

A look at how the science of building secure software and the art of breaking software security differ (and how they're the same). From a software engineer who breaks things (or, a security engineer who makes things).
Mark Goodwin is a security engineer with 20 years' experience building secure sofware, including 15 years in application security, half of which have been for Mozilla, creators of the Firefox web browser.

Come along to this Deep Learning workshop, where you can expect a hands-on experience to get a feel for whether this is something they'd like to do more of in your subsequent career, and go away feeling excited about the possibilities AI opens up.

This Monday, we'll be having our Annual General Meeting. It may feel like our first event was just yesterday, but it's come time for us to elect a new committee take HackSoc forward.
Nominations are open, ensure you come to cast your vote.
Remember - you can help decide the direction that HackSoc is taken in, so every vote counts!
... We'll be providing pizza and drinks for attendees of the AGM, so be sure to bring as many HackSoc members as possible! 🍕
