Next TCLUG Meeting When: Saturday December 4th, noon-2pm Topic: Ocaml programming language The talk itself is on Ocaml- not so much teaching the language itself, but on why you should learn it, and what it's good for (and what it isn't good for). No previous knowledge of Ocaml or functional languages is assumed. The executive summary: Ocaml is an applications development language- meaning you use to write things like word processors and web servers, not device drivers and operating systems, and less so scripts. It shines best in large code bases with multiple developers and in situations where maintainance is a concern. Ocaml allows you to write more code, more maintainable code, and more correct (less buggy code) in less time, without sacrificing performance. It is signifigantly more technologically advanced as a language than any "popular" language is. However, it is not- repeat NOT- a mere theoretical toy language. It is a deeply pragmatic and productive language- in many ways more pragmatic than Java and C++. I myself am a senior software engineer, currently unemployeed (hopefully this will change before Saturday). I've been programming in Ocaml non-professionally for ~3 years now.

We've been invited to the VERITAS Technology Day, which happens this Friday, December 10 from 10:45am to 2:00pm at the Roseville facility. During the event we'll have a break-out session just for us to have our MNVUG meeting. This isn't on the schedule but will happen during the brunch beginning shortly after 1:00 pm in a meeting room to be determined. We're hoping that some new folks from the VERITAS sessions join us! There are some really great topics for the Technology Day, so I highly encourage folks to attend. Please do remember to register for this so VERITAS knows you're attending! This will be the last meeting of the year for the MNVUG. Don't worry though, we'll schedule more soon. Attached you should find a web page with information on the events as well as a link to register. Please register so you're counted!

I know I have, but just barely. We've got a meeting coming up on January 8th, at Noon. Paul Anderson, of Wind River, is going to be speaking to us about his company and how they have become the market leader in device software. It's sure to be an interesting one, especially with devices like the Mars Rover in their list of customers. He's not afraid to get technical either, so bring your questions. For more details, check out the Meeting Info Page on the TCLUG Website (http://www.tclug.org/meetings/) Hope to see you there. As a note, I would like to introduce myself. I will be sending out the announcements and coordinating the meetings in 2005. Some of you may have met me at the Installfest a few months back. I am excited to be involved, and hope to bring some exciting speakers to the TCLUG this year. If you have any suggestions, comments, or concerns, please email me at benj@thejordanproject.com now, or in the future. Thanks, and we'll see you at the meeting.
