This course is intended to provide a meeting place for FSU Programming enthusiasts. We plan to meet once a week, with one or more of the three different missions:

• Paper presentations -- This is fairly informal, with one person (i.e. student) responsible each time for leading the discussions. Nobody will have to lead for more than one paper per semester.
• Programming Challenges Session -- Solve one or two programming problems in class (ACM Programming contest style).
• Code Lunch -- once in the semester we'll have free food for everyone in the course.

The fraction of sessions dedicated to coding vs. papers will depend upon general interest. You can get one credit for participating by simply registering for CIS4930/5930. You will be required to present one paper, and attend on a somewhat regular basis. Everyone is welcome to attend. This is a excellent opportunity for students looking for learning upcoming tools in programming as well as practicing their programming skills.
