Since we only have school on Monday - Wednesday this week, I will lead Monday, Guillermo will lead Tuesday, and Edmond will lead Wednesday. For my meeting, I will be going over some techniques of how to approach codefights' 3 main categories: Debugging, Recovery, and Code writing. We will also do some 1-on-1's to practice our skills against each other. Guillermo and Edmond will be sending emails through me the day before they lead, so look out for those as well! As a side note, I sent out an email on Friday about Codefights . They have leaderboards weekly and overall. Our University's last week's placement was 6th and that was when most people started on Friday! Use the link above to join and to get our school top placed. Companies do see them and they can recruit you directly through that. I have gotten a request to join Codefight's team, albeit it is probably mailed to anyone who beat their bot, but not only is it a good way network and place internationally, but also great practice!

On Tuesday we will be doing ... coding problems on the whiteboard! We will be doing problems either individually or in groups, depending on how many people are in attendance. Why whiteboarding exercises? - It is probably the least "natural" way to code, we spend hours coding on our laptops for our CS assignments, yet all of the "top" companies (Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, hot startups, companies that want to be hot startups) conduct interviews on the whiteboard. - The best way to prepare is to practice ... in front of others ... on a whiteboard! - We are in the midst of recruiting season for internships and full-time positions. Many of you might have interviews coming up. Bring your toughest preparation questions! - Maybe you're a freshman or a sophomore and are intimidated by the prospect of whiteboarding for your life at a job interview. Come and see that even mortals can do it! We will give you beginner questions involving introductory data structures and primitives (arrays, grids, Strings, ints). - It is a flexible format, and I strive to create a collaborative and collegial environment. If you just want a refresher and are new to white boarding exercises, we will not be jerks. If you want to be grilled and asked the toughest questions on Cracking the Coding Interview until you cry... we can do that too! Let's improve our coding and whiteboard skills together!

Then we will divide into groups by difficulty and improve on each solution. Each group will discuss the different approaches and what merits each one gives. Then in the final 30 minutes we will all go over the solutions together and compare those with what each group came up with. It'll be a fun experience and a great way to both practice problem solving and learn other approaches to solving problems.

If you need to get started on a project, check out the SIGSysAdmin project list on the wiki (https://acm.cs.uic.edu/wiki/sig:sysadmin) or ask me about specifics. Some things that I personally want to look into over the break include: - CoreOS networking - Pfsense - New workstation provisioning - IT Management Automation/Orchestration (Ansible?Chef?Others?) - Monitoring via SNMP/monitoring-plugins/Icinga - Monitor Wall maintenance & other software solutions Do you have anything you want to look into?
