FringeDC is a group in Washington DC interested in Fringe Programming
Languages (Lisp, Haskell, Erlang, Prolog, etc.) www.lisperati.com/fringedc.html Our next meeting features Brent Yorgey, who is well known in the Haskell community and a contributor to XMonad. For those who don't know, XMonad (a purely functional windows manager) is often lauded (well, by me at least :-) as a masterpiece in software engineering. It cleanly marries elegant functional programming code with the ugliest of uglies, the X Windows system. Brent will be giving an intro to Haskell and explain the nuts of bolts of extending XMonad. As an opener, Philip Fominykh will be giving an opening presentations on Zippers, an exotic purely functional data structure popular among Haskellers! The Meeting is will be held on Saturday, March 22nd. It is hosted by Clark&Parsia, a developer of OWL/Semantic Web reasoning software in downtown DC. Address: 926 N St NW Rear Studio #1 Washington DC 20001 Google Map:http://clarkparsia.com/contact -Conrad Barski, M.D. (cell 202 436 1388) P.S. We're looking for someone to make a video of the meeting for the interwebs- Bring your camera if you want to help. |
