Just a reminder that tonight Clyde Forrester is giving the presentation "Hello, and Beyond" at the Polyglot Programmers of Chicago meeting.
If you plan to attend, please RSVP on the webpage (via Twitter) in order to count you in for the Pizza order.
Abstract:
"When learning a new programming language or testing a new environment, one commonly runs the "Hello" program, which simply puts "Hello" on the screen. Some, like me, do not progress beyond that in great leaps, but must define deliberate small steps to understand new languages and additional functionality. To help with this, I am gradually building a set of exercises and implementations in many computer languages. I will present what I have so far, as well as the significant problems I have encountered, and some lessons learned."
When: Thursday, October 22, 2009, 6:00-8:00
Where: Obtiva, 566 W. Adams St., Suite 400, Chicago, IL
Eating: Giordano's Pizza
Looking forward to see you.

The word I was trying to remember yesterday is chrestomathy.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Program_Chrestomathy
People were talking about building program chrestomathy sites, or
related to but not quiet sites.
There are some links off of the wikipedia page to some places you can
explore to see if they meet your goals.
