Introduction to hacking at Georgia Tech

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009 at 8:37 pm

I’m right now in Atlanta, Georgia and Georgia Tech for University Hack Day. Yesterday night I kicked off the one week event as my colleagues from California were delayed because of the snow situation in the US.

The presentation covers the history of hack in Yahoo, what makes a good and interesting hack and goes into explaining some of the technologies that people can use.
