[LRUG] Understanding Computation Book Group?

[James Adam]

Thanks everyone for responding via the Doodle so far. It's looking like Tuesday 4th is a clear winner, so let's settle on that date. If you can't make it please don't worry, as I'm sure you'll be able to make it to the next one.

So, here's a Lanyrd listing with the location and time details: http://lanyrd.com/2013/compbookclub/

My suggestion for this first one is that everyone tries to read chapter 2 (this first chapter is the Ruby intro), and then we can see where things go after that.

6:30pm at GFR HQ (address etc is on the Lanyrd). If you're kind enough to indicate attendance, I might even try to arrange a couple of beers.

- James

If you saw his talk at Ru3y Manor, it's very much in the same vein - interesting ideas from "Computer Science" made more programmer-friendly.
