If you could please forward this, I'd appreciate it: The UtahValley.rb and BYU-RUG are trying something new. In place of our regular May 8th meeting, we're going to be hosting an 'erlounge' (an Erlang-centered meeting) Hopefully this will be the first of many monthly erlounges. (No, this doesn't mean we're giving up Ruby -- plan on seeing our regular Ruby meetings for a long time to come.) We'll meet at 7 PM in the large conference room at the Open Source Technology Center in Building A on the Novell Campus in Provo. During the meeting, we'll look at the first 6 chapters of 'Programming Erlang' by Joe Armstrong. Erlang is a highly concurrent, functional language. It was initially developed over 10 years ago for programming cell phone switches. Today, it is used for a variety of applications where stability, performance, and concurrency are essential. In his forward to 'Programming Erlang' Joe Armstrong writes "I had fun writing this book. I hope you have fun reading it. Now go read the book, write some code, and have fun." Let's take his advice and have some fun reading and hacking erlang together. -- thanks, -pate ------------------------- Duty makes us do things, Love make us do things well. http://on-ruby.blogspot.com http://on-erlang.blogspot.com ------------------------------------------------------- -------------------- BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ The opinions expressed in this message are the responsibility of their author.
