A great start for the Professional Skills Seminar Series of the Computer Science Department

Mr Leonard Shtika

The Computer Science launched this year’s Professional Skills Seminar Series with two insightful seminars.

The series kicked off on 19 October 2017 with a seminar on ‘Website boost with SEO’ by Mr Leonard Shtika, Software Engineer at Tessera Multimedia and Google Analytics Certified Expert. Mr Shtika shared his expertise and explained how a search engine works today, elaborated on the high significance of search engine optimisation as an extremely important factor of the success of any website, and provided methods and tips how to increase the SERP ranking.

The second seminar of the Professional Seminar Series was delivered by Mr Petros Amoiridis, Manager at GitHub. In his presentation entitled 'Contribute effectively to open source on GitHub using Git' he described the GitHub Flow as the easiest way to collaborate using the GitHub platform and provided useful information on working on topic branches and keeping the latest stable production code in the master branch. Moreover, the way to use pull requests and code reviews was detailed. Students found both seminars particularly useful and gained valuable insights.
