Hello,
So the first week of classes has come and gone and Ive come to know more about the courses I'm taking. The game programming courses should be quite interesting in one of our courses(GAM666) we are learning the lower level actual programming way of creating games while in the other class(GAM667) we are going to take a look at the game from a design and modding perspective so it looks like were going to be working on textures and models which should be quite fun.
In parallel programming we have started talking about the concept of parallel programming and optimization we learned a little about the idea of using GPU cores in order to improve execution time. We haven't gone too much in depth as to what exactly it is but the concept itself is very interesting it also relates to game development which is my major topic of interest and we all know that video games now days demand quite abit of power.
Lastly is the open source class, this should be painful but fun. I don't know much about what the class will be like or what we will learn, but just the fact that it will be related to Mozilla is indication it will be extremely interesting and challenging. It is a little daunting but it wouldn't be the first time I walked into a situation with having no idea what I'm doing, I got out fine last time.
