I always seem to enjoy the programming related presentations too.
I just had a quick look at the past presentations that I think were
programming related, looking back as far as 2007:
Scala - Ron Coleman (Aug 3 2011)
Android - Frank Wallingford (Jun 2 2010)
Crack and LLVM - Mike Muller (May 5 2010)
Why Arduino? - Ed Nisley (Feb 3 2010)
Glade - Ben Stoutenburgh (Oct 7 2009)
Linux in High Performance Computing - Jim Doherty (Jul 1 2009)
[Involved multi-threaded programming using MDP if I remember correctly]
Ruby on Rails - Sean Dague (Feb 4 2009)
Squeak - Joe Apuzzo (Jun 4 2008)
Django Web Application Framework - Sean O'Connor (Nov 7 2007)
There seems to be always at least one programming related presentation per
year, and sometimes several. :-) I think that's a good thing.
