The JUG-Delhi meet on this Sunday at Sarai came up with an interesting conclusion. We generally agreed that having a general programmers meet rather than a language oriented meet is more likely to appeal to many people.
The general idea is to have a programmers meet every fourth Sunday of the month. The venue tentatively is at Sarai right now, but could be anywhere more centrally located if somebody could come out with a good projector/presentation system.
The aim of these meets are going to be general programming talks, concentrating on programming concepts. Since many of these concepts need to be demonstrated with implementations, the choice of the implementation language is left to the presentor. You can use C, C++/Pascal, Java, Perl, Python, even visual basic/C# (shudder) for that matter. The meet is language agnostic, just as the linux-india-programmers list tries to be. The focus is not on teaching languages, but on getting across concepts.
By the third Sunday of each month, we would like to have the list of presentors and topics to be finalized, with hopefully the presentation available online so that people can come prepared with questions.
Suggestions invited for the meet.
At present, the following people have volunteered with tentative topics for the next meet. They are going to be finalized by the third sunday(21st).
1. Vivek Khurana - OO GUI Designing. Language/Toolkit=???
2. Rahul Kumar - Non-Blocking Input/Output. Language=Java/NIO
3. Sandip Bhattacharya - (still to be decided)
- Sandip
