We are already on the fourth week into the Spring Semester.
We did not have small group meeting this Tuesday as RPI has a mini winter break (Monday was Presidents day).
On Friday we had three speakers
:1) Colin Rice '14 - Internet Harder - AutoRoute
2) Rob Rouhani and Aaron Gunderson- Unit Tests
3) John Drogo- Mean Stack
Here is a twitter photo of Colin Rice giving the talk https://twitter.com/rcosrpi/status/568886071997702145/photo/1
Eric and Dimitar are working with Colin on this project http://rcos.rpi.edu/projects/autoroute/ Idea behind this project is make the routing scheme finer and have some kind of cost mechanism (for packets) to make it to work is Blom filter (to stoe the BGP table efficienty).
Rob and Aaron gave a fantastic talk with continuous integration and unit test. I did not know till that talk that there is a utility you can integrate with Github (Travis-CI) He has posted his slides https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1yxSFWgp-u1vtA1ZEIXBQ62zEIhTgUBnJj3wyvM5onTg/edit?usp=sharing They also gave a live demo where unit tests failed and he modified the code to fix it. To effectively use continuous integration, one has to write unit tests.

John Drago talked about MEAN stack (for web development) (mongo, express, Angular, nodejs) and how it is much better than LAMP Stack (linux,Apache, MySQL and PHP). He brought out the good aspects of nodejs (javascript intepreter meshes with Python) an dhow nonSQL database like MOngoDB one can have a dynamic database. He showed a live graph demo with web crawers and it was quite impressive. I wanted to learn what he did (as it is something similar to what John Punin and I did a long time ago). I am waiting for his post.
All in all I learnt a lot from these meetings. Highlight of the meeting seems to be free google swags that they distributed at the beginning of the meeting.
