Early Warning: SATBC meeting 8/4

[Anne]

Tuesday, 8/4 at 7:00pm, we are having our next Virtual SA Tech
Book Club meeting, discussing Chapter 11 in "Implementing Lean
Software Development".

In addition, we are still undecided on a specific book/topic for the
Lean book's replacement in September, so if you happen be be hanging
out on Amazon, feel free to wander over to the tech books section and
make note of any books that seem particularly worthwhile! Meanwhile,
I'm going to ping Matt Podwysocki in DC, he's a functional programming
guy and might have some good ideas.

Anyone that is new to Skype, try to get on a few minutes early so we
can work out any technical problems beforehand. If you haven't done a
voice chat using your computer before, make sure you have sound and a
mic, and if you're planning on using speakers(on a laptop or
otherwise), keep a pair of headphones handy as a backup as sometimes
speakers cause echo with these programs (really, headphones would be
preferable). Headphones with a built-in mic would be ideal.

My Skype ID is ajepst, and I'll be creating/running the conference.
IM me on Skype once you're online to let me know that you want to be
part of the conference and I'll add you in.

I thought we we did Lean last time?  Isn't this DDD's turn.

I actually follow Matt's blog and on twitter, really smart guy and one of the first resources I found on functional programming.  I'll be interested to hear what he says (knowing him probably Haskell).

Ryan, you are absolutely right, I meant chapter 11 in DDD...the Lean
book doesn't even HAVE a chapter 11!
