Explore a conference talk by Andrea Piseri, the grand prize winner of the 15th annual APL Problem Solving Competition. Delve into Piseri's experiences with APL and Dyalog as he discusses his solutions to the "open reading frames" and "time for a change" problems from phase 2 of the competition. Learn about his personal journey with APL and array programming, and gain insights into his problem-solving approaches. Discover the intricacies of working with FASTA format, implementing flat map and array-oriented solutions, and tackling recursive and dynamic programming challenges. Gain valuable lessons from Piseri's experience in the competition and his insights into APL programming.
