Generating Unique Identifiers in Your Programs (GUIDs/UUIDs) // Globally- or Universally-Unique Identifiers are a common tool for assigning unique handles to devices, objects, and database entries. This video takes you through the different types of GUID/UUID and shows you how to generate them, both from your C programs and the command line.

Welcome! I post videos that help you learn to program and become a more confident software developer. I cover beginner-to-advanced systems topics ranging from network programming, threads, processes, operating systems, embedded systems and others. My goal is to help you get under-the-hood and better understand how computers work and how you can use them to become stronger students and more capable professional developers.


About me: I'm a computer scientist, electrical engineer, researcher, and teacher. I specialize in embedded systems, mobile computing, sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. I teach systems and networking courses at Clemson University, where I also lead the PERSIST research lab.
