Meeting - 2014-11-24

[Seberius]

One week until the next meeting. This issue is to confirm the presenters, topics and schedule for the meeting.

Meeting Presentations:

We have two talks along with the factory pattern examples currently planned. Please confirm if you are listed below.

• [x] @jme - Functional Programming talk #43 - 45-60 min - Confirmed
• :no_entry_sign: @ErikCH - Ember.js Talk #38 - 30 min? - Moved to next month

  Factory Pattern Examples:

The chosen pattern for this month is Factory. Please let us know which language(s) you would like to make an example in, along with a link to the code if available. It is fine if multiple people do the same language, though you may want to check if a language you can write hasn't been claimed.

Slight change from the last pattern as there is not a set model for the example, though feel free to use one of the examples below. Please make your example explainable within about 2 - 3 minutes, though we may spend more time on an example if there is interest (as usual).

If you have an example to suggest please post a link.

I'm requesting a Python example. Pretty please. :)

[elskwid]

@jme and/or @ErikCH - can we get some confirmation for tonight?

[supernullset]

@halfnibble been a while since I hacked in python; but ask and ye shall receive

[ErikCH]

School has been a little crazy so I don't have a presentation to present. Maybe we can push this off another month! Sorry

[jme]

Yes, I will be there!

(sorry to have missed the earlier email...)

[halfnibble]

ErickCH has confused me. There is still a meetup tonight right? If need be, I could do an impromptu talk on Django...but it wouldn't be good!

[ErikCH]

@halfnibble I was just saying that I won't be able to present this month. As far as I know there still will be a meeting.

[halfnibble]

Oh ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

[jme]

There were three inter-related questions regarding Clojure types and hinting that really merit a fuller answer so I have prepared this gist. I hope it helps!
