Programming Puzzlers

slides:none on file

A rapid live quiz that flashes about 30 icons each mapping to a programming term, using a slide deck of simple pictograms and a stopwatch. Audience correctly IDs many: API, JSON, camelCase, boolean, full stack, parameter, polymorphism, XML, with a few stumbles over trickier ones like a bad regex output or ambiguous machine‑language glyph. The format proves fast, playful and mostly successful at testing visual-term recognition.
