🦀 Prog 🦀 Comp 🦀 | T1W6 Newsletter

This is not a drill, we have our own Programming Competition! Keegan's been spending far too long on this one, so you better all like it 😥 . Our Rust course finished last week, I hope you all enjoyed that, if you missed it, find it at rs118.uwcs.co.uk. This week also marks the end of our lovely Python course, so our schedule is looking a little clearer -- I hope your coursework load makes up for it!

We had our new Fresher Reps elected last week! Say hi to Alex Wright and Henry Gao! We'll be putting out a get to know them post this week!

🍔 Weekly Pub Meal W6

I think we missed a trick not going to the Phantom Coach for Halloween, but to make up for that, we'll be there this week instead!

🌐 xSoc Python Course Final Session

🕖 Tue 8 Nov 7pm - 9pm 📍 OC0.03 / OC0.01
Final Session back to being run by us! We'll finish off with a discussion of efficiency, compactness, and readability.

This course will take you from a complete novice to creating a quiz program, so if you've fancied creating some gadgets, a website, or automating some daily task: this course will bring anyone up to speed! Find materials and catch-up on previous weeks at go.uwcs.uk/python
