A computer engineer that is also teaching professional seminars becomes better at both:

As a teacher, the theory is kept fresh in mind while you sharpen the smallest of details . In turn this is a great resource when working in the field as a computer engineer. On the other hand, as a computer engineer the practical experience and knowledge gained are invaluable and are a great resource when teaching professional seminars.

As a result – while lecturing you never need to look at the text book, all the examples you give are from real-life experience. When working on engineering projects all the theory is fresh and clear and you approach problems from a much broader and better starting point.

Seminars for Computer Programmers and Engineers
Since 1990 Oded Malky has been teaching and lecturing on a regular basis. The professional seminars (40-80 hours) are usually intended for computer engineers and programmers with 5-10 years experience. Among the regular clients were the Israeli Air-Force Academy, The Israeli Aircraft Industries, High-Tech College IL and numerous private small and medium companies.

The seminars usually focus on specific subjects which experienced programmers wish to enhance in professionally. The methodology behind is simple: Theory explanation (in simple words), demonstration of some examples and then exercise and drills, which are solved together later on. All programming exercises and drills are designed in a way that once solved they could be used as building tools in future projects. The goal in each seminar is that by the last day every student will feel he/she has received what he came for and can immediately put it into good use.

Some of our seminars are:

• Windows hardware programming (controlling and monitoring external hardware devices)
• GPS programming for desktop and handheld computers
• Pocket PC programming (handheld computers)
• Video Communication Methods (for non-programmers as well)
• Video Compression Methods (for programmers, including capturing, overlay, real time)
• Video Compression Methods (for non-programmers using MatLab)
• TCP/IP applications (for programmers)
• TCP/IP methods (for non-programmers)
• Advance programming methods
• Advance debuging methods
