In this workshop you will learn C through many hands on exercises of varying difficulty or bring-your-own projects. Everyone will be learning on their own time, the only requirement is motivation! Groups welcome as well, and if you already started a small project I can also provide you a small review and perhaps ideas on how to improve.
The platform will be mostly Linux and UNIX/POSIX (BSD, macOS, Solaris) due to personal experience there, but Windows is possible as well (with a bit more limited help). Alternatively the Windows Subsystem for Linux can be used to develop and target Linux from Windows.
C is still one of the major programming languages used for development and maintenance of existing software. It has a deep history as being the language that was designed for developing UNIX with. Due to this, it traditionally has no features other than those strictly required for building a 1970s era operating system.
While it is probably not fit for developing the Next Big Thing, it's still the language of choice for many due to its versatility and "simplicity". Many critical components are written in C or at least expose a C interface, as such, C can be considered the "lingua franca" of interoperability, required for glueing everything together.
This workshop's goal is to have fun while learning C and also, hopefully, understanding some of its design choices.
C is a small language making it easy to cover in such a short time—yet difficult to master, due its age and the complexity that arise through that.

''Learn Arduino using TV-B-Gone as an example project''<br> <br> You've probably heard lots about '''Arduino'''. But if you don't know what it is, or how you can use it to do all sorts of cool things, then this fun and easy workshop is for you. As an example project, we'll be creating a '''TV-B-Gone''' remote control out of an '''Arduino''' you can take home with you.

Have you ever wondered how fabric is actually woven? In this discussion i will take you along for the journey from initial concept to final wearable product of a high-fashion modern-designed wool scarf. Topics from the chemistry science of fiber and dyeing to the utilization of computer-assisted pattern design will be covered.

Da zukünftige Quantencomputer besonders gut darin sind, klassische Verschlüsselungen zu knacken, werden andere Formen der Schlüsselgenerierung benötigt. Eine mögliche Lösung ist die Erzeugung von sogenannten Quantenschlüsseln, die eine besondere Eigenheit der Quantenmechanik ausnutzen. Statt mit einzelnen Photonen werden wir im Workshop einen Schlüssel mit dem extra dafür entwickelten Quantenschlüsselgenerator, kurz Qey-Gen, erzeugen. So kann jeder direkt hands-on das Verfahren ...

In this workshop, we quickly go over the various fields of IT-Security and how small, brain teaser-like challenges can assist you in learning about them. As an example of such a field, we will teach you the basics of Reverse Engineering, the art of understanding what code does.
