Course Proposals

Learn about some awesome new computer science classes I have been developing:

• Readings in Software Engineering
• Advanced Database Systems: Relational to Distributed
• Computer Networking: A Constructivist Approach
• Mobile Programming: iOS & Mobile Web
• A Postmodern Introduction to Computer Science
• Mobile Programming with Android (now offered at Mines!)
• From Nand to Tetris: Building a Modern Computer from First Principles (now offered at Mines!)

My goal is to ensure our CS graduates understand the entire abstraction stack of computing and to expose them to the best software development tools and modern paradigms. By instilling in them a strong sense of creativity, I hope to empower them to become better software developers, to feel a passion for programming, and to use their skills to create (rather than consume) better software & systems.

My wacky, personal research focuses on the impact of computing systems on the individual and on society; information architecture, the "semantic Web" and content-centric ecosystems; and the art & practice of postmodern software development.
