Hi folks,

Our next NWRUG is in four weeks on 19 February at Colony, One Silk Street, Aji Slater will unlock the mysteries of the Enigma machine using object-oriented programming:

After the last carrier pigeon but before digital encryption, there was the Enigma machine. An ingenious piece of pre-atomic age technology encoded German military secrets during World War II, baffling code-breakers with mere rotors and switches, without elliptic curves or private keys.

Delve into object-oriented programming and bring the Enigma machine back to life with an emulator built in Ruby. Unravel the secrets of this nigh-unbreakable cipher device, witness OO principles unlock its mysteries, discover the power and versatility of the patterns we use as developers and how they mirror the Enigma's inner workings.


We’ll be at the venue for pizza from 6:30pm with the talk starting at 7pm. Afterwards we’ll retire to The Crown & Kettle for a drink. The venue, pizza, and drinks are kindly provided by our sponsors Fatsoma and thoughtbot.

Register here if you would like to attend. Full details on this (and all our events) over on our website.

See you soon!

Rob Whittaker
