Six Weeks of Scala (4 left!)

October 27, 2010 in events

SRT Solutions is hosting a free hacking session to learn Scala. I apologize for posting this announcement 2 weeks into it … but there are still 4 weeks left of our Six Weeks of Scala series. Plenty of time to join in, particularly since this has been organized as independent sessions to allow people to come and go, as it fits their schedule.

We will meet at SRT Solutions on Monday evenings (11/1, 11/8, 11/15, and 11/22), sometime after 5 pm (most people seem to be arriving at around 6), and work on Scala for about 2-2.5 hrs. The first few weeks, we worked on a variety of things, getting used to the language. We played around with collections in the first week, and pattern matching & functional decomposition of problems last week.

On Monday, November 1, we are going to start working with the Scala Koans, modeled after the Ruby Koans. We’ll be working with Dick Wall’s fork of the Koans, and hopefully contributing to them. Please join us.

SRT Solutions is at 206 S. Fifth Ave., Suite 200 in Ann Arbor. This is at the intersection of Washington and Fifth Avenue. The entrance is from Fifth Avenue. Metered parking is free in Ann Arbor after 6 pm, so if you can find a space, feed the meter til 6. Alternatively, the closest parking structure is at Fourth Avenue and Washington.

Arbcamp 2010 Unconference

September 9, 2010 in AAJUG Meetings, events, Uncategorized

September 14, 2010
6:00 pm	to	9:00 pm

Not an AAJUG meeting, but recommended.

ArbCamp is an unconference for Ann Arbor geeks of all stripes (tech, art, music, science, biz, etc.), an informal meeting where the schedule is built by its participants. All are invited for an evening of intense knowledge-sharing and community – our goal is to introduce a diverse representation of Ann Arbor’s talent to each other and to the unconference format, hopefully to inspire other unconferences in the future. Everyone will be a participant engaged in, or leading discussion – no spectators – so please register your interests on the conference wiki page to let others know who might share them!

This will be a fast-paced event with the opportunity for an extended night of socializing and geekery. Registration will begin at 6pm, beer will be available at the bar and some complimentary light snacks will be served then as well. If you have requests for a presentation let us know, the planners may be able to find someone to talk about that.

If you know that you would like to present, or have questions please contact Chad Crabtree: flaxeater at gmail dot com

When you come, be prepared to share with ArbCampers.
When you leave, be prepared to share it with the world.
