Listen to ACM ByteCast!
In this episode of ACM ByteCast, host Juan Miguel de Joya welcomes 2025 ACM Luiz André Barroso Award recipient Ricardo Baeza-Yates, the Search Chief Scientist at You.com, holding part-time professor appointments at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden), Universitat Pompeu Fabra (Spain), and Universidad de Chile. Baeza-Yates is widely regarded as one of the world’s foremost researchers in information retrieval, celebrated especially for pioneering innovative data structures that have shaped the field. As a practitioner, Baeza-Yates served as VP of Research for Yahoo Labs, secured 14 patents, and co-founded several startups in Chile and Spain, including Theodora AI, devoted to mitigating technological bias. Ricardo is a member of Academia Europaea, and a Fellow of ACM and IEEE. He is the co-author of Modern Information Retrieval, which became the field's most cited textbook.

Codecademy: Software Design Principles and Patterns with AI
Software design principles are the foundation for building maintainable, scalable code, and pairing them with AI coding agents transforms how developers translate those principles into working systems across the full stack. By the end of this course, you will be able to design, implement, and refactor full-stack applications with disciplined architectural thinking and collaborate effectively with AI to validate your design decisions.
This Aspire Journey includes interactive content from Codecademy.
Intelligent Automation with End-User Computing Solutions: A Guide to Empowering Efficiency
This book is a timely and essential resource for professionals, researchers, and decision-makers aiming to navigate the evolving landscape of automation and computing. The book equips its readers with the knowledge and tools necessary to harness the combined power of intelligent automation and end computing, paving the way for innovative and efficient solutions in the digital age.
Scheduling, Scaling, and Orchestrating Complex Workflows in Apache Airflow
Apache Airflow has become the industry standard for workflow orchestration, but mastering its advanced features requires deep understanding of scheduling, scaling, and architectural patterns. This course elevates your Airflow expertise beyond basic DAG creation to enterprise-level workflow management. In this course, explore advanced scheduling concepts including cron expressions, timetables, and backfill strategies. Next, discover dynamic task mapping, scaling strategies, and how to manage parallelism, concurrency, and resource pools. Finally, learn architectural best practices for complex production environments and techniques for optimizing sophisticated workflows. After completing this course, you will be able to design, implement, and optimize Apache Airflow workflows that scale efficiently across distributed systems.
AI-Assisted Back-End Development
Master back-end development using AI-native workflows by learning how to design, build, and scale server-side applications with the support of AI coding agents. You will develop the ability to guide AI tools effectively while maintaining control over architecture, security, and data flow in real-world systems. In this Aspire Journey, you will begin by learning how to work with AI development tools and prompt engineering techniques. You will then explore back-end fundamentals, build Node.js applications, design scalable APIs using Express, and manage databases with Prisma, while applying AI to accelerate development without compromising quality.

ACM Case Studies
Written by leading domain experts for software engineers, ACM Case Studies provide an in-depth look at how software teams overcome specific challenges by implementing new technologies, adopting new practices, or a combination of both. Often through first-hand accounts, these pieces explore what the challenges were, the tools and techniques that were used to combat them, and the solution that was achieved.
ACM Distinguished Speakers Program
The Distinguished Speakers Program (DSP) is one of ACM's most valued outreach programs, providing universities, corporations, event and conference planners, and local ACM chapters with direct access to top technology leaders and innovators from nearly every sector of the computing industry. ACM will cover the cost of transportation for the speaker to travel to your event.
