The return of Guelph Coffee and Code: March 24

07 Mar

I am happy to announce that Guelph Coffee and Code will be relaunching very shortly! We plan to meet every two weeks on Thursday evenings, beginning on March 24.

With Cory’s move to Toronto we have a new leadership team and a re-tuning of our focus. We would like to emphasize the community element of C&C, and welcome anybody to lead a one-off or recurring segment of their choice.

We will not be continuing the Microsoft Certification work that many of you have been doing unless somebody volunteers to lead it.

Reboot meeting

Date and time: Thursday, March 24, 6:00–9:00 p.m.

Location: 349 Woolwich Street

Schedule:

  • Introductions (10 minutes)
  • Tips and Tricks: SSH Tunnels (10 minutes)
  • Introduction to Project Euler (10 minutes)
  • Team coding with Gobby (15 minutes) This is likely going to be bumped to the next meeting
  • Social coding (until 9:00)
  • After party at the Woolwich Arrow

If you are interested in leading a segment, or if you have any topic requests, please add a comment to this post.
