Posted on April 12, 2012 | Leave a comment

We are wrapping up another successful semester at ASU. With graduation around the corner, there have been a few changes as some of our members are moving on into the next step in their lives. We thank them for their contributions and wish them the very best!

The election has resulted in a new batch officers. Your new officers are:

  • Joseph Drolshagen - President
  • Brandon Fletcher – Vice-President
  • Cory Harasha – Treasurer
  • Glenn Craver – Secretary

This has been the last meeting for this semester. We wish you good luck with your finals and have a happy and relaxing summer! We’ll be in touch when SoDA resumes in Fall 2012 :)

SoDA Meeting: Embedded Scripting for Games

Posted on March 25, 2012 | Leave a comment

Hello, SoDA members!

Our upcoming meeting will be held this Thursday, March 29, 2012 from 6:30p to 9:30p in BYAC 110. Pizza will be provided.

Our guest speaker, Jeremy Wright, professor of the C++ Practicum and professional code writer will be discussing embedded scripting for video games.

We will be presenting in C++, how to use Flex, and Bison to parse a custom command language; Then we’ll show how to add this command interpreter to a basic game. We’ll have a simple SDL graphics layer, and manipulate C++ objects at runtime. It should be very interesting. We’ll post the code after the talk so students can download it, and use it in their own projects. I will be live coding the project (in vim… :-) ).

Be there!

Hello, friends! It’s that time again; the first scheduled weekly meeting for the Software Developer’s Association is just around the corner. This Thursday (Feb. 2, 2012) from 6:30PM – 9:30PM, we will host the first meeting of the semester in Brickyard Artisan Court Room 110 (BYAC 110).

To start the meeting off we will introduce our organization to new members, introduce ourselves, and plan for future meetings. After getting formalities out of the way, entrepreneur Ben Huston, CEO of Looterang.com will discuss his product, a service that discovers rewards personalized to the way you shop, his experience in creating a startup in Phoenix, and the mobile platforms on which they release to, iOS and Android.

After the conclusion of the official meeting, the current SoDA officers will stick around to talk with SoDA members to discuss the upcoming election for new officers. Anyone interested in a fantastic way to demonstrate your leadership skills (Or anyone interested in improving their leadership skills), should come talk with us after the club meeting so we can share the information.

Thanks!

Intel Developer Night Round 2!

Posted on September 28, 2011 | Leave a comment

Tonight’s meeting (09/28/11, 7:00PM-9:00PM BYAC110) Will focus on the second part of our Intel Developer program!

At our previous meetup we discussed the importance of version control using GitHub for both creating backup points for your software, allowing multiple people to collaborate on a project, as well as facilitating the growth of the open source software community, whom we love dearly.

We then managed to setup anyone and everyone who brought a laptop with GitHub and taught a few simple commands in order to get members started including: adding files to your staged changes (git add –all or got add (some file)), commiting the staged changes to your local repository (git commit -m ‘This message tells everyone what you fixed/added/changed in this commit’), as well as uploading your changed repository to GitHub (git push origin master, where origin is the name of the remote you wish to upload to and master is the branch you’re working on).

Then, master hacker and SoDA Officer, Jordan Nguyen managed to translate the binary on the Intel I <3 Apps shirt, which read “make awesome”, revealing the true message of the shirt, “I make awesome Apps”!

Finally we handed out three Intel ASUS Eee Netbooks for SoDA members to use to develop software for the Intel AppUp program.

Tonight we will be distributing more netbooks to SoDA members as well as assisting members setup their development environments on their netbooks in order to start developing awesome apps for the Intel AppUp program! Be there for your chance to receive an awesome ASUS Netbook and to work with other members on your Intel AppUp apps!

Stanford course, ‘Intro to AI’ Offered for Free

Posted on August 10, 2011 | Leave a comment

Have you always wanted to expand your knowledge of heuristic algorithms, deural networks, and artificial intelligence design? Well today’s your lucky day! SoDA Member, Patrick Traynor recently contacted us about this interesting approach that Stanford is taking for their Intro to AI course, by which the public is invited to sign up for the online course for free… Well, not absolutely free, while there are no registration fees, students are still required to purchase the textbook for the class, which is still inexpensive enough to make this an excellent opportunity.

 ”I am very excited. Teaching many students online has always been my dream. This quarter I get to affect more students than in my entire career before. And yes, we are already beyond my expectations, just 3 days in.” -Professor Thrun

Thanks to SoDA member, Patrick Traynor, for taking the time to contact us about this great opportunity. If you have an opportunity, job offer, project announcement, exciting field breakthroughs or etc, feel free to contact us and we’ll be sure to post it for our members.
