How did we get from a revolutionary WWII code-breaking machine to British-designed chips in nearly every smartphone? How did an argument in a Cambridge pub start a chain of events that led to the current dominance of British video game studios? It all started, in typically British style, with a problem involving tea and cakes. This light-hearted talk takes a look at the British family tree of comp...

There are limits to our ability to learn and process information, but the amount of information we have access to is growing faster than ever. In this talk I explain the origins of the term “information overload” and describe what physiological and psychological effects being overloaded causes. With reference to developing for the web, I describe specific, manageable sources of information overloa...

Despite predictions that ebooks would mean the end of books as we know them, the codex has been remarkably resilient. This talk looks at the history of the book and why librarians aren't as worried about its future as some tech pundits are. about this event: https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule.frab

MicroPython is (literally) everywhere at EMF. It's all over the UK too, thanks to it being one of the official languages of the BBC micro:bit device - a million of which have been handed out to the UK's 11 and 12 year olds. It even has aspirations for use in space (Damien George, the creator of MicroPython has been working with the ESA). This introductory talk explains the basics of MicroPython, m...

The beginning of EMF 2016! about this event: https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule.frab

This talk -- from the perspective of a biologist who goes drinking with programmers -- will look at some of the areas where biology and computer science overlap. We'll look at algorithms used by swarms and flocks to make group decisions, how well concepts from artificial life map onto actual life (with a brief segue into what "life" actually means anyway, and why it's a trickier question than you'...

Wir wollen gemeinsam einen Blick auf die möglicherweise nicht ganz so offensichtliche...

Als Nerd kommt man immer mal wieder in die Verlegenheit, eine nicht-statische Website ins Netz stellen zu muessen. Statt reflexartig zu fertigen CMS- oder Wikiloesungen zu greifen kann es in vielen Faellen vorteilhaft sein, eine fuer das jeweilige Problem massgeschneiderte Anwendung zu programmieren. Welche Gruende das sein koennten wird einen gewichtigen Teil des Vortrtags einnehmen - der Rest ge...

Im Jahr 2001 gab es noch kein YouTube, kein Facebook oder Twitter. Selbst die Wikipedia steckte noch in den Kinderschuhen. Aus dem gleichen Jahr stammt die europäische Regelung des Urheberrechts. Der Austausch von Wissen und Kultur im Internet und über Landesgrenzen hinweg ist mittlerweile eine Selbstverständlichkeit geworden. Die europäische Gesetzgebung wurde von dieser Reali...
