Lectures

Lectures will be delivered by Matej Hoffmann or Tomas Svoboda (TS).

PDF of the slides will be posted on this page. Note, however, that lectures will contain a significant portion of blackboard writing as well as some live programming pieces. Reading/watching slides only is not enough. Active participation in lectures is welcomed and encouraged.

Current tentative schedule is right below. For the time being, the schedule from last year with links to slides is kept further down.
