Introduction

Nobody was born as an engineer…
• If you want to run, you have to learn how to walk first
• “An expert is a person, who has made all the mistakes that can
be made in a very narrow field” – who said this?
• Burn it until you learn it
• Engineers brake make things
• Sport/programming the same rule – at the beginning you are
10000 repetitions from expertise…
Rules
• We drink coffee only in the coffee corner!
• Questions! ASK AS MANY AS YOU WILL! Don’t wait!
• If someone is too quick with explaining or if you did not catch
something at once – ASK!
• If you have your own idea – try to implement it!
