As previously advised the next meeting will have a series of short talks on scripting languages - one per speaker as follows:
Volker Kuhlmann: Shell (Bourne, maybe others) John Carter: Ruby. Carl Cerecke: Python. Steve Holdoway: PHP. Zane Gilmore: Perl. Each speaker will be allocated 20 minutes. That includes question time. One idea was for them to present a common problem, eg "how do I do foo in each language" - but the speakers railed against this, and besides each language is for subtly different things. This talk is for newbies up. Don't be scared of understanding what a script does or writing a simple one. Your machine becomes more powerful if you understand it and can control it, but it's not black magic! So: mark out next Tuesday in your diary: St Albans Community Resource Centre 1047 Colombo Street. (Edgeware) 7.30 pm http://clug.net.nz/index.php/MeetingSchedule PLEASE NOTE: 1. There is a $2.00 entry fee. 2. BRING A PLATE (or a packet of biccies) - tea & coffee supplied. 3. there is no 3. 4. There will be a door prize. -- Nick Rout
