All interested in J are welcome!
If you've learning a new language, especially one as rich as J, it's
valuable
to talk about it face-to-face with people. Even if you already know a
language well,
it's often illuminating to talk about it with those less knowledgeable than
you.
The general format of our meetings is as follows:
18:30 - 19:00 Beginner's regatta - we cover a topic addressing some basic
facility of J
19:00 - 19:30 Show-and-tell - attendees are encouraged to show recent
code on which they've been
working in order to show off, and to solicit advice
and sympathy.
19:30 - 20:00 Advanced topics - we look at more advanced features of the
language.
20:00 - 20:30 Learning and teaching J - we're distilling our own
experiences to help others
get a handle on J and improve our own knowledge of
it.
20:30 - ? General talk, drink beer, go home, eat dinner, whatever.
These broad areas are structured and ordered so that you may arrive or leave
earlier or
later depending on your particular interests.
Everyone who attends will get a summary of the meeting - depending on when
and if
I get around to writing it up - and an advance agenda for the next meeting.
You are
encouraged to contribute to the agenda by suggesting topics you would like
to cover.
Hope to see you there...
