The Geek Book Club has become something of an "unbookclub."   Rather than having assigned readings from specific books, direction is based on the interests and contributions of active members.  Our coffee shop meetings have become a forum to discuss findings, present code and ideas, and discover new areas of interest.  Slackers (you know who you are) can show up when time permits and won't feel left behind.  We are thrilled to have new members!  Anyone with a love for computer science is welcome to join us.

 

The last 5-10 minutes of each meeting are reserved for a quick "scrum" session. In turn, each of us will take a minute to describe what he plans to study before the next meeting. As we go around the table, common themes/articles/code/books should emerge. I'll publish our expectations on the website so that offline members can follow along.

  

Our next meeting is Friday, November 13th, from 7:30am to 8:30am at the City Market (there are several) on North Avenue just east of 88th Street on the south side of the road.  It's about 1 mile east of Mayfair Mall.
