Course material, lecture slides, hands-on projects, and exams — from C and Python fundamentals through Go, networking, Kubernetes, and LLMs. Everything here is open: take it, teach with it, or learn from it.

Parham teaches programming, backend, and infrastructure. Elaheh works on machine learning and data science.

Most repositories carry a hands-on project, not just slides — they show how we approached a well-known problem. Try your own solution first, then compare. Programming has no one-size-fits-all rulebook, so where our approach differs from yours, use whatever serves you and your team better — and open an issue to tell us about it. Questions, corrections, and contributions are all welcome.

The four decks taught as university courses. Each is a full term of slides, kept in step with the assignments and exams beside it.

• c-lecture — Fundamentals of Computer and Programming, an introduction to programming in C. Beamer slides, fourteen lectures

• is-lecture — Introduction to Information Security: cryptography, access control, and system, web and network defence

The exercises and papers that go with them:

• ie-assignmets — Internet Engineering assignments
• ie-exam — Internet Engineering midterm and final questions
• git-exercise — the first Git assignment of the AUT course

• interviews — using code to remember the awesome moments of our lives

Retired material. Still readable, no longer maintained — the language basics have moved on, but the exercises hold up.

Everything here was prepared for someone else to follow — courses, lectures, and exercises with a beginning and an end. The scratchpads where we work things out for ourselves, one technology at a time, live in 1995parham-learning. That one is the workbench. This one is curated.
