My colleague and friend at UT Austin, Lisa Kaczmarczyk, gave our SIGCSE paper to the students in her technical writing course; in working through the paper, they came up with a number of questions that they thought would be nice to have answered.
They’re good questions, and Christian and I will address them on the Transterpreter weblog . . . → Read More: Questions about the Transterpreter

1236 tests passed!

Caveat Listenor; beware the listener of this talk. I gave a quick overview in the department of the history of robotics and some of the kinds of research that take place in the area of robotics.
