Here you will find a wide variety of audio and video recordings of past CSC Talks. Some of these files are very large, and we do not recommend attempting to stream them. Most of these should be available upon request at the Computer Science Club office to be burnt to CD or DVD should you so choose.

A discussion of how software creators can identify application opportunities that offer the promise of great social and commercial significance. Particular attention will be paid to the challenge of acquiring cross domain knowledge and setting up effective collaboration.
• Larry Smith: Computing's Next Great Empires oggmp3
Rico Mariani, (BMath CS/EEE 1988) now an (almost) 18 year Microsoft veteran but then a CSC president comes to talk to us about the evolution of software tools for microcomputers. This talk promises to be a little bit about history and perspective (at least from the Microsoft side of things) as well as the evolution of software engineers, different types of programmers and their needs, and what it's like to try to make the software industry more effective at what it does, and sometimes succeed! Particularly illuminating are his responses to advocates of free/open-source software.
