• ITalented: the New Course for IT Students

During its two months, representatives of St. Petersburg's leading companies will explain how to present oneself in a new company and complete projects using "soft skills". Maksim Ivanov, one of the course's organizers, shared on what else the students will learn during the course's seven sessions.

• Why Design Programs: Anatoliy Shalyto on Automata-Based Programming

  Software is something developed for users — this is an axiom so evident that few even sound it; yet, it is somehow neglected. When a customer orders a program, the best he can do is use words to explain how it should work. The programmer, on the other hand, can't express its work with words or on paper, but only show it once it's done, as in most cases he does not design it, but writes the code right away. In other words, only the programmer knows its inner workings, and that is unsafe and ineffective. The situation may change with help of automata-based programming, believes Anatoliy Shalyto, Head of the Programming Technology Department.
