ANN: Feb 23rd Meeting

[Nelson Morris]

What : Monthly Meeting - Crunching numbers with Clojure
Who : Daniel Solano Gómez
When : Thursday, Nov 17. 7:00pm
Where : Interactive Network Technologies, 2901 Wilcrest, Suite 300

Daniel will be presenting an early version of his talk for clojure/west.

From http://clojurewest.org/sessions/ --
In the beginning, trying to do number crunching using Clojure was a
pain: to get any sort of performance, you had to resort to low-level,
non-idiomatic constructs. Clojure 1.3 introduced enhanced primitive
support that promises to make heavily numeric work in Clojure
practical. This session will show you how to use these new features,
help you become aware of potential pitfalls, and review some of the
other tools within Clojure to help you create high-performance
number-crunching applications.

The building will be locked, but the guard should let you in. I
recommend parking in the open lot on the south side of the building,
near the parking garage and entering from the east. The guard station
and elevators are on that side. If you have any problems getting in
call Steven Reynolds at 713-962-9481.

They haven't announced anything yet.

2010 was Oct 22-23.
2011 was Nov 10-12.

I'd expect it to be 3 days and in that same time period. Halloween is
a Wednesday and I don't think they would start it the next day. That
leaves Oct 25-27 or Nov 8-10 as my guesses.
