Kevin Burke - Hacking Roller Coaster Tycoon with Genetic Algorithms and Go

12pm, July 15

585 Howard St. 3rd floor

Abstract:

You might be good at designing coasters in "Roller Coaster Tycoon," but you could make even cooler coasters if you let Go build them for you. We'll look a little at RCT's code (written in x86) and how to reverse-engineer it. You'll learn how to design good genetic algorithms. Finally, we'll discuss the advantages of using Go's standard library for a project like this.

Mikhail Panchenko - CTO Opsmatic - Title TBD

12pm, July 22

585 Howard St. 3rd floor

Mikhail's still working on his talk, but will probably have to do with monitoring or configuration management. Mikhail has a super neat blog here: http://blog.mihasya.com/

Hope you can join us! If you are planning on coming please let me know (burke+talks@shyp.com), and we can order you lunch!

Best,

Kevin
