This seminar provides and overview of reverse engineering and how you might use it as a developer. I overview a variety of tools ranging from binary analysis, ptrace, kernel tracing tools, and kernel hacking and when to use each.
Spaghetti code is a nightmare. It is hard to read, harder to understand, and harder still to debug and change. In this talk, I introduce the discipline of refactoring which transforms code in a way that maintains its external behavior while improving it’s internal structure. I will present several examples of poor design often seen in imperative code, and describe some techniques to refactor this code to easier to understand semantic code from Martin Fowler’s book “Refactoring: Improving the Design of Existing Software”.
The purpose of this talk is to introduce how instructors could approach the topic of using automation in the classroom. We will make a case for automation both from a student’s and instructor’s perspective by showing that automation can save time, encourage test driven development, and improve testing for knowledge. We will also address concerns regarding grading automation including accuracy, confidentiality, and security. Then we will get into detail about techniques and tools that can be used for classroom automation. Finally we will examine case studies of how automation has and can be implemented. We will examine how this has been done technically as well as part of the classroom environment by faculty members at the School of Computing.
