This project will be proposed as an entry for the 2012 Software Craftsmanship Conference held at Bletchley Park on June 14th 2012
This project will serve the following goals. Make sure to checkout the wikipage about the project.
- Gathering place for information concerning the SC2012 entry.
- Host accompanying presentations.
- Provide support code in various languages.

Software Craftsmanship 2012 (SC2012) is the fourth international conference for software craftsmen. This years theme is Computer Science for Software Craftsman, in celebration of the work of computer pioneer Alan Turing.
Alan Turing was a English mathematician. His seminal paper "On Computable Numbers, with an Application to the Entscheidungsproblem" introduced Turing machines , an abstract machine capable of performing computations.
During the Second World War he was at Bletchley Park and played a pivotal role in breaking the Enigma.
Bletchley Park is an estate in Bletchley England which house the National Codes Centre and the National Museum for Computing.
During the Second World war it was the center of the United Kingdom's decryption establishment.
From Wikipedia on De Bruijn Sequence
a k-ary De Bruijn sequence B(k, n) of order n is a cyclic sequence of a given alphabet A with size k for which every possible subsequence of length n in A appears as a sequence of consecutive characters exactly once.
An example of a De Bruijn sequence B(3, 2) for the alphabet
{0, 1, 2} is given below.
0 0 1 1 0 2 1 2 2
Notice this sequence has the stated property as can seen by taking consequtive consecutive characters.
0 0 1 1 0 2 1 2 2

0 1

De Bruijn sequences are named after Nicolaas Govert de Bruijn , a Dutch mathematician who was, until recently, affiliated as professor emeritus at the Eindhoven University of Technology. He passed away on 17 February 2012.
