Notice of GNU/Linux Users workshop, next Wednesday, June 1st, 7.30pm, Sydenham Community Association Hall, 25 Hutcheson Street, Sydenham.
Derek Smithies will guide us through a user's-eye view of the Emacs program editor. As Emacs's especial claim to fame is direct incorporation of command line calls and shortcuts, this session will be doubly informative for new and advancing users alike. The sample code will be C. The second part of the evening will compare C to newer languages like Python, Pike, HTML and PHP, using Emacs. So Emacs will be tested, as both a development environment and a *nix teaching aid. All welcome. Light supper and overhead costs are met by donations. Discussion of the workshop series and all Free Software issues are encouraged on GNUz mailing list. Hoping to see you there, Regards, -- Richard Tindall, InfoHelp Services <http://www.infohelp.co.nz>, on: Ubuntu GNU/Linux 5.04 free OS, 2.6.10-5-686 kernel, GNOME 2.10.0 desktop
