Fwd: [GeekUp] Functional Programming Night at GeekUp Liverpool May

[Hakim Cassimally]

I mentioned this on the list a couple of weeks ago, and Geekup will
indeed be hosting its first ever "Functional Programming Night":

http://lanyrd.com/2011/geekup-liverpool-may/

It'll mostly consist of 3 short talks on Haskell, Lisp, and Clojure,
one of them from a .Net perspective!

* Haskell in the Real World (Hakim @osfameron)
* Implenting a Lisp interpreter in .Net (Simon Johnson)
* Clojure: why you should be interested in a 50 year old language
(Tom Mortimer-Jones @morty_uk)

There will also be beer!

The talks are likely to be more "general interest" than assuming deep
knowledge of FP

Just wanted to announce May's GeekUp properly. We'll be having a
Functional Programming Extravaganza with three (count em', 3!) talks
from Hakim Cassimally, Simon Johnson and Tom Mortimer-Jones.
Meeting in 3345 on Parr Street as ever, talks starting at 7pm but turn
up from 6:30 and we'll be chatting over beer in the bar.
Turn-out has been great for the recent events but we're always happy
to welcome more people, there's more information on lanyrd:

Let us know you're coming by signing up on that link but feel free to
turn up anyway, attendance is free and open to all comers of course.
John

The FP night is next week! (Tuesday 31st). Hope to see some of you there?

Though we're not talking about F# (at least, not in the talks, perhaps
afterwards, over beer ;-), the talk on implementing Lisp will be using
.Net

Cheers,
Hakim / osfameron
