2023 Computer Science Curriculum Guidelines
A joint task force of ACM, the IEEE Computer Society, and the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence is revising the Computer Science curricular guidelines, which were last updated in 2013. The task force is updating the knowledge model and designing a complementary competency model of the curricula, and invites CS professionals to provide feedback and suggestions on all aspects of the curricula. It plans to have the curricular recommendations reviewed in March and again in July 2023, and also invites nominations and self-nominations of reviewers.

Watch the ACM TechTalk with Sasha Rosenbaum
Register now for the TechTalk, “Future of DevOps” with Sasha Rosenbaum, a principal at Ergonautic, taking place March 29, 2023, 1:00 pm ET (5 pm UTC). The term DevOps first appeared in 2009, and since then has been used to describe a cultural shift, an engineering job title, and many products in the Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery space. In this session, Rosenbaum will talk through the brief history of DevOps as a methodology, a set of technical skills, and an umbrella of technologies, and then dive into what the next 5-10 years are likely to look like in the DevOps space.
