Guelph Coffee and Code

Hey folks!

December is a crazy month for many of us, so we’ll only be having one meeting (on December 1). The regularly scheduled third-Thursday meeting is canceled.

Instead of a regular meeting on December 1 I’d like to celebrate what we’ve accomplished this year. I’m suggesting a potluck at 349. Please use the comments on this post to discuss what you are planning to bring.

I would also like to try a tech book exchange. Most of us probably have some books on our shelves that we no longer use but that still contain good information. Bring a book that you no longer want and trade it for something else! (Please don’t buy a book to exchange—the whole point is to recycle something that’s already on your bookshelf. I’ll bring an extra or two in case we need them.)

Hey folks:

This Thursday Jeremy will be doing an introduction to Zend, a comprehensive PHP framework, from the perspective of a new user. Jeremy has been very vocal about his satisfaction with the Zend libraries. Come on out and see if this is the framework that you’ve been searching for!

As usual we’ll get started around 6:30 and head over to the Wooly when we’re done talking tech.

Hey folks!

At next week’s meeting Chris will show off the ConTeXt code that he uses to build his resume. ConTeXt is a typesetting language similar to LaTeX.

Why would anybody build their resume using TeX, you ask? Come on to the meeting to find out!

Hey folks:

I haven’t had time to pull anything together for tonight’s meeting, so unfortunately I’m going to have to cancel it.

Please remember that you can suggest meeting topics here, on the mailing list, or on Twitter. It would be really nice to have somebody suggest something for our next meeting on November 3.

Have a good evening, and I’ll see you in two weeks!
