Five Minutes with... Josh Allman
You knew you were headed for a career in Computer Science when...
When I got ahold of the Internet and realized I had no idea how any
of it worked.
What is your favorite class and why?
Any class that lets me take an idea, run with it, make mistakes, and better
myself because of it. Meaning pretty much all of my CS classes.
One piece of advice I have for 1st year students is...
Read as much as you can, think as much as you can, tinker as much as
you can, because there is just too much fascinating stuff out there waiting
to be done. And none of it really comes easily.
If you could have dinner with a famous computer
scientist, living or dead, who would you choose?
Donald Knuth,
because he is my homeboy.
What is the most interesting project you have worked on,
either in a course or on the job?
I wrote a program to write poetry once that has been the catalyst for so
many weird ideas and cool opportunities.
Where do you see yourself in ten years?
Advancing the state of the art in computer science and bringing
innovations to reality.
