Platform-Spanning Systems – Observations from Uppsala

Teaching Platform-Spanning Systems Again

I reprised my gig from last year and taught the course Platform-Spanning Systems at Uppsala university during the first quarter of 2025. It is always fun to get back the university and enjoy the atmosphere and the enthusiasm and fearlessness of students. The course went better than last year (in my opinion), in part thanks to the sponsorship from Bahnhof that provided us with virtual machines for the students to run their code.

Teaching a Class at Uppsala University

In the first quarter of 2024, I did a short stint as a teacher at Uppsala University. I taught the class “platform-spanning systems” (PSS), which is a fourth-year/masters-level course for engineering and computer science students. It was fun and rewarding to be back at the university, and I probably learnt as much as the my students.
