Donald Wolfson’s User Page
Hello! My name is Donald Wolfson, I’m a third year Computer Science Major at the University of California, San Diego. I’m also a research intern at the Center for Applied Internet Data Analysis, based at the San Diego Supercomputer Center. I don’t have a favorite programming language, but I’ll list the ones I know in the order of how happy I would be to work with them:
- C++
- Python
- Java
- C
- C#
JavaScript

What do I look like?
It’s not that big of a secret! But for now, you can enjoy this image I made with Adobe Illustrator of myself.

A cool concept I’ve learned
One of the more interesting things I’ve learned during my time at my CAIDA are Regular Expressions. They’re an interesting way to find substrings using a variety of syntaxes, and can be very powerful. Below is a simply example in Python on how to search for the word the the inside of the given string. The sky is the limit with Regular Expressions.
import re
re_the = re.compile(r"the")
if re_the.search("Winnie the Pooh"):
print("True")
else:
print("False")

This link creates relaxation.
This link is one of my favorite pass times.

An Interesting Quote I’ve Found
Here is the first quote I found after looking up interesting code related quotes. As the wise Martin Fowler once said:
Any fool can write code that a computer can understand. Good programmers write code that humans can understand.
TODO List
