Jenny's talk is inspirational. It just tells that CS can be applied to any field you can imagine. CS isn't only used for web or engineering, but something else I never expected to see it used, which is news reporting. The previous developers were more like a "Duh", because if you're going into computing, then you need to learn how to code. None appealed more than the other. Each case is unique in how they apply their coding experiences in their field.
It was less of a hard coding only kind of experience, and more of a "using coding as a tool" in a traditionally non-CS kind of job. Her job seems much more flexible and interesting than just straight coding.
Jenny's talk was different from other talks because she offered ways that computer science can be related to real world things. But also things connected to our communities. Which in a way demonstrates how developing can have a greater impact.
Jenny talked about how instead of going into the software development industry, she uses her knowledge of computer science to create and present data about local issues. This appealed to me more because it showed that you don't have to be super into computer science for it to be a tool to you in your career
Jenny's talk focused on the community aspect of creating projects, and how a primarily non-tech company utilizes crowd-sourcing, computer science, web interface and innovation to spread ideas.
I can't say which one "appealed" to me more, but I certainly enjoyed her talk specifically because her ideas applied to almost all fields/companies.
Jenny's talk was different because she focused on much more real world application of CS to statistics that impact our everyday lives. This is appealing because it helps to anchor the stuff we are learning into reality.
I was not very interested in her talk. Most of her work seemed very very simple and boring honestly. I didnt see many examples of college level computer science skills besides maybe website design. That is just my opinion on her work, I think software development is far more interesting and rewarding.
Jenny's talk was more of a practical application of programming to the average consumer. I think that this was more interesting as it explored uses of technology.
1. She was talking more about what she did at WNYC. It wasn't very technical but it was interesting. The technical stuff appealed to me more 'cause it was cooler.
I thought it was nice that she was our first female speaker. Her talk was interesting, and I was able to understand everything she discussed. I felt her topic appealed to me because it showed how I can use the skills I learned this summer in the "real world." I felt more connected to her. I like Jenny's talk and the first speaker's talk the best.
Jenny's talk was more centered around data GATHERING while the others were more centered on using said data. I really liked Jenny's talk (I'm a bit biased to NPR) because it showed the data and how it was gathered and how it was used.
Jenny's talk was appealing due to actual implementation of the coding skills that we were introduced to here at SHIP. Some of the projects sounded really interesting.
I liked Jenny's talk the most so far because her job seems like it is a more common use of coding in daily life. I think that the other speakers had bigger and more rare jobs that you are pretty hard to get. But with Jenny, it showed me that even a regular person can use coding in daily situations.
Jenny's talk was interesting because she showed how one can use programming to keep up with daily news in one's area. It was very interesting and different than the other talks, so it appealed to me in its own way. All the talks were great and i cannot chose one over the other since they are all interesting in their own wa
Jenny's talk was different because she talked more about what she does than the other speakers did. The other speakers focused more on how things are done in the industry while Jenny talked more about her personal experiences. I prefer the style of the other presenters.
Jenny incorporated her CS skills into a non CS field: journalism. I liked learning about all of her different projects. It was interesting to hear from a less hardcore programmer.
Jenny's talk was very interesting. It was centered around statistics mixed with a radio show. I feel like the software talks appealed to me more because it was focused on the theme of the camp, which I liked.
Jenny's talk was focused mainly around the news industry and crowd sourced networking to make more convenient media services. What was different about her talk was the connections she made to the media which was really unique and which no other guest actually spoke about.
Jenny's talk appealed to me more because it just seemed like a really new idea and I liked it a lot.
Jenny's talk was mostly about her applications for coding, rather than the techniques she used to code. I liked her talk best because it went more into what I can code.
Jenny's talk was a lot less technical and covered more of what programming is capable of and how it can be used in actual situations (i.e. for work) than how things work. I think I enjoyed the earlier talks a bit more however, even if they got a little confusing at times, if not only for the fact that I personally am more interested in the topics addressed in the first talks. Also, I listen to wnyc nearly everyday, so it was cool to learn more about how things work there!
Jenny's talk differed from other talks in that she talked about how computer science can integrate with real life scenarios and had parts of other talks added to her talk such as the topic of "crowdsourcing". Jenny's talk appealed to me more because she talked about working with groups of people unlike the other talks which were more focused around coding.
I noticed that previous talks focused more on the programming side of software development, whereas Jenny's talk was more about actually using the data in the real world. I'm not sure I prefer one over the other; I think it's important to see both the programming side and the utilization side of software development.
It hadn't even occurred to me that WNYC needed cs people, but it makes a lot of sense on second thought. The other talks were more going in depth into things I already knew existed. My favorite talk was probably the big data one, because it's a topic I'm really interested in.
Like all talks, there were times where I almost fell asleep from boredom. Most of these talks ARE interesting, but there are some points in the talk that I can't handle (as in "I don't understand what is even going on.") Jenny's talk was interesting to some extent. I particularly enjoyed her data showcases. I think this talk might have been more interesting than some of the previous talks, because I was able to understand more. I don't really have anything else to say...
It differed as her job was about real world applications. Its something that a lot of people could relate to. I was intrigued by the sheer quantity of applications you could make with code
I suppose the point of contention was less about how the program works and almost completely about its functions and how it's useful. Even though statistics aren't at the pinnacle of MY interests, it's cooler to see the results rather than the process.

ReplyDeleteShe told us about how she and her group collect data about things in New York.

How did Jenny's talk differ from prior talks delivered by software developers?
ReplyDeleteWhich appealed to you more, and why?
Jenny talked about gathering and using information instead if processing information.
i liked the programing better because it tells you what to do once you get that information.

ReplyDeleteA different talk
ReplyDeleteUsing CS differently
Than what I'd expect.
This appealed to me
In a new, different way
Because of its use
I like this talk the most because it covered how CS could be integrated with other jobs.

ReplyDeleteHer talk was unique because it tied programming to media/ news industry
ReplyDeleteHer talk was different because her career didn't just use computer science alone.
ReplyDeleteIt appealed to me because it was so...normal? Like everyday things that you see and use.

ReplyDeleteJenny's talk was odd.
ReplyDeleteIt had more interaction,
Not a bad thing, though.

ReplyDeleteher talk was golden
ReplyDeletei cant decide, they were all so golden.
Its cool how Jenny applies her knowledge of coding to her job which consists of public affairs.
