Last fall, I taught UW-Madison’s Computer Science Capstone class and it was a blast. The Computer Sciences department just published an article about the class. It contains more project information as well as some student feedback.

I’m extremely proud of the class and the students who took the class last semester. I’m teaching it again this fall and we’ve already got a lot of students signed up, plus five companies ready to sponsor projects. Reach out to me if you’d like more information.

Here’s what I’ve figured out so far.

The Best Part of Our Viking Rhine Trip Was After the Boat: Switzerland, Lake Como & Milan

Our extension, which went from Basel through the Swiss Alps by the scenic Bernina Express train, two nights in St. Moritz, another scenic train into Italy, a stop at Lake Como, and two nights in Milan, was fantastic.
