EDUCATIONAL: A dive into problem-solving with genetic algorithm


Details
We're pairing up with our partners-in-crime Codecinella for this talk from WiT member Kyla Harper; learn more about Codecinella at http://codecinella.org!
ABOUT THE TALK
"Genetic algorithm is the theory of evolution in code form. It generates quality solutions for complex problems. Join me as we discuss how the algorithm works, exploring everything from building 2D cars to playing Super Mario World."
ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Kyla recently joined the Ten Forward Consulting team as a support engineer. She’s passionate about honing her skill set as a Rails developer, building on her understanding of Test Driven Development, and using her expertise to benefit underserved communities.
