User Experience has become a pervasive topic in software development. This presentation introduces basic tools and methods of User Experience Design for software developers. On the one hand it aims to facilitate the interaction with designers, on the other hand it contains tips for creating intuitive user interfaces without the help of designers.

The RenAIssance: Brave New World

European Forum Alpbach 2017, 6-day course, with Tarek Besold
Artificial Intelligence
State of AI
Lecture

It was my honor and pleasure to teach this course at the European Forum Alpbach. The seminar introduced the basic principles of Artificial Intelligence to give participants a basis for evaluating ongoing public discussions. To give participants from non-technical subject areas an idea of the difficulty of programming, we had a robot programming challenge, with students playing the parts of robots, compilers and programmers.
