עברת לעבוד בעברית. התמיכה עדיין חלקית מאוד, הטפסים לא מתורגמים, וייתכנו שגיאות מערכת, אבל אפשר לכתוב מימין לשמאל, ואנחנו על זה. אם נתקלת בשגיאה, אפשר בדרך כלל לחזור צעד אחורה, לעבור לאנגלית ולהשלים את הפעולה.

Codyssey - a playful Python workshop
17/09, 13:00–16:00 (Asia/Jerusalem), חדר 2
Language: English

We all know about the Odyssey and all those mythical heroes...
But behind every successful hero sits a programmer, trying to figure out WHY THE F*** won't the hero's boat move in the right direction.

Welcome aboard, hero-coder.


In this workshop you'll hone your Python skills by writing agents that autonomously play games! Compete to solve the most games in 3 hours.

How it works:
There will be 9 games where you'll write code that runs dozens of times a second and decides which action to take next. The games vary in complexity and familiarity - you'll meet snake, pong 3D, and a host of other games. Be the first to solve them all!

(Be sure to bring a laptop)

Target audience

Developers

I started my career as a programmer in the IDF, where I had the opportunity to take on a rich range of roles: full-stack developer, team lead, and programming course commander.

After being released from the IDF I got into the world of data science and machine learning, in an Israeli nutrition startup that was later acquired by Medtronic, a big medical device company.

I then ventured out on my own as a freelance machine learning practitioner, and now I work with several startups on computer vision / ML problems. In addition I work with Nitzanim (https://nitzanim.tech) as the CTO, helping to create and improve tech-ed programs for youth.

Bachelor's degree in computer science from the Open University, Master's degree in machine learning & data science from Reichman University.

And I have a blog! It's got quite a few posts in Python, too. https://andersource.dev
