[Acm-announce] FW: Microsoft Coming to UIC 1/23 for a rocking Tech Talk by PhD, Author, and Microsoft Senior SDE

[Daniel Stack]

Hey you all, I miss you from all the way over in Redmond 💗 😜  I was talking to Erin our school recruiter for Microsoft about when I could come back and visit and well it looks like fall is going to be the semester I'll be back. Some of You I never had the chance to say farewell to I apologize for that, I was in a big move scenario and was very busy.  Erin asked me to pass this along to you all. It looks like it will have some cool information and I'm jealous I won't be able to attend so take advantage of it.





I hope all the best for your semester and make sure you get involved in extra projects and cool things like this if you have a desire to work for big companies like Microsoft. Best, Daniel

Hi All,
 
We’re excited to have the opportunity to visit the UIC campus next week and wanted to share about a special event we will be hosting.
Please share this will your friends/classmates and come introduce yourself as new Microsoft hires to our speaker!  A couple of you have already joined us here at Microsoft but I wanted to send this out to you in case you have friends still at UIC who would
 be interested. J
 
Please feel free to share this email and attached flyer with your colleagues or fellow student org members and help spread the word.  I’d really appreciate if you could print and post some flyers
 around campus for students to see.
 
Microsoft Tech Talk: Building Software to Last
By John Socha-Leialoh, Senior Software Developer
 
You’ve pulled an all-nighter and just finished writing the code for your project. You run the application, and it works. You send it off, and you’re
 done. Easy. Now imagine writing software that must live and be maintained not for weeks, but for decades. Microsoft has source code in applications like Word that was written decades ago. And projects with millions of lines of code.

 
How do you write these applications so they’re reliable? And how do you modify source code without introducing new bugs when you can’t spend the
 time to understand it fully?
 
Come learn about one approach we take at Microsoft to deal with this type of issue—how to design software so you can make changes safely. How to
 write software so it is easier to fix bugs and add new features.
 
John Socha-Leialoha has been in the software industry for nearly three decades. He has a BS in Electrical and Computer Engineering
 from the University of Wisconsin, and a MS and PhD in Applied Physics from Cornell University. While finishing his PhD, he began writing a program that became The Norton Commander, which was a very successful product in its day. Since then he’s been involved
 in a number of startups, and is now a Senior Software Design Engineer at Microsoft in the Windows Server and System Center group.
 
As if the talk wasn’t enough – you’ll also have the chance to
win awesome swag! Free food too!
 
Wednesday, January 23  | 5:30 pm
Lecture Center D - Room 4
 
Best,
 
Erin
