#NashFP Next meeting Tuesday, March 26 at 6:00 pm at Emma

[Bryan Hunter]

Agenda:

+ Clojure lab - "Getting started with Clojure" (bring a laptop)

+ Planning for Lambda Jam (July 8-10 in Chicago)

+ Open show-and-tell (bring something you think is neat)

About NashFP:

In the Nashville-area? Interested in functional programming (e.g. Clojure, Erlang, F#, Haskell, Lisp, OCaml, Scala,...)? Dandy! Come join us, and invite a friend. We're a curious and welcoming group. All skill-levels, platforms, backgrounds & languages welcome. We meet once a month for a lab (think three hour code camp). Show off your favorite functional language or pose questions to the group. We have a projector, WIFI, coffee and light munchies. If brains start hurting we can adjourn to a nearby restaurant, coffee shop, or bar.

If you'd like to meet up with other area functional programmers outside of the monthly meetings we've designated JJ's Market as an official haunt (every Monday at 6pm). Once there look for the table with a lambda symbol "λ".

For those coming to the Clojure lab, there are a couple of things you can do in advance, if you have time:

1. Make sure your have the Java SDK installed.  If you're on a Mac, you've got Java 6 and you're fine.  If you aren't sure you can try javac -version on the command line and if you get something like javac 1.6.X_X or javac 1.7.X_X, you should be fine.  If you don't have it, you can get it here http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk7-downloads-1880260.html or possibly from your package manager.
2. We will be setting up editing environments for Clojure with some options listed below.  If your don't already have one of these (or some other text editor / IDE you prefer) you can go ahead and download one.
1. LightTable http://www.lighttable.com.  This is recommended if you don't have any experience with the other options
2. Emacs
3. Vim
4. Eclipse with Counterclockwise https://code.google.com/p/counterclockwise/

See you tonight,

Caleb
