Fellow Kent alumni here! The CS department also has (or had?) the lecturer who wrote the textbook and IDE for most "Intro to OOP" courses, which was cool.

- UncleSlacky 3y agoIt's like a UKC reunion in here! Lived in Whitstable for the last two years of my degree course, quite often went out on the spit.
- julian55 3y agoI also want to UKC and I lived in Whitstable for my 2nd year in 1974.
- wseymour 3y agoPiling in on the UKC reunion. Studied Computer Systems Engineering from 2003 - 2007. Always looked forward to Winston Waller's lectures, which typically involved regailing us of control systems he built for various breweries.
- thom 3y agoNot sure why this got so heavily downvoted, let people reminisce.
- sigwinch28 3y agoBlueJ, David Barnes, and Michael Kölling?
- cjrp 3y agoYep!
- broomhall 3y agoYet another alumni. UKC also had the lecturer who wrote the text book for functional programming - Simon Thompson - Haskell The Craft of Functional Programming (I think!). It was used at other unis including Durham. Incidentally, I now live nearer to Holy Island with it's disappearing causeway, which is mentioned elsewhere in the thread. Would definitely recommend a visit as it can be stunning in the right weather.
- mnd999 3y agoIs that you Chris? I think I did a CS poster project with you.
- UncleSlacky 3y agoI studied Physics & Computing, so didn't have a lot of interaction with the Computing Lab specifically, though I recall Ian Utting and Bob Eager: https://www.kent.ac.uk/computing/people/3094/utting-ian https://www.kent.ac.uk/computing/people/3094/utting-ian https://blogs.kent.ac.uk/unikentcomp-news/2015/12/18/farewell-to-bob-eager/ https://blogs.kent.ac.uk/unikentcomp-news/2015/12/18/farewel...
