After a great turnout at our meeting last month (thanks largely to the Malvern LUG transfering their meeting to ours, cheers guys), I hope we can continue the trend. This will be the last technical meeting for 2006 and once again we'll be at O'Neills. If you wish to partake of food before the talks begin, please get your food orders to me by 12pm Tuesday 21st November (menu details below).
This month we are honoured with three guest speakers. Firstly we have local LUG member, Alex Willmer, who will be talking about cool GPS things. Tom Hukins will telling us about this cool Perl extended technical meeting that he attended in August (apparently it was in Birmingham and many of us managed to miss it!). Then we have Jonathon Worthington talking about formal programming language theory, with a glimpse of Parrot and Perl 6 along the way. Finally, we have our own JJ provide a good introduction to functional programming.
A very varied month of talks, and hopefully there will be plenty for everyone.
