OUDL is having a Swift discussion. Bring your laptops and follow along and be sure to participate in the discussion!

From the Meetup event:

Warning: May include functional programming and excessive Playgrounds.

A little bit of time has gone by since our last Swift meetup. It’s time to regroup and have a discussion on Swift.

The agenda is simple:

• Discuss interesting Swift language features, guided by suggestions or led by my Playgrounds
• Go over the GitHub project that I’ve put together to guide the PNM workshop in March (beta testing!)

Our focus will be on guided discussion and writing a lot of code together.

Street parking is available, as well as a limited amount of green vistor stalls are available. Please do not park in the reserved stalls.

James Wang will be giving a talk on Go this coming Thursday!

Go is an exciting programming language that is aimed to replace C in many ways. From groundbreaking benchmarks to Erlang-like concurrency focused language constructs make it one of the go to languages for code that demand performance.

From Go’s Documentation:

The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive.

Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the power of run-time reflection. It’s a fast, statically typed, compiled language that feels like a dynamically typed, interpreted language.

The agenda for this talk is as follows:

• Environment Setup
• Getting Started: Simple Programs and Algorithms
• Concurrency & Design Patterns
• Tools and Projects written in Go

Golang links:

• https://golang.org
• https://github.com/golang/go

When: Thursday, January 29, 2015 @ 7:00pm

Where: Manoa Innovation Center (HICapacity), 2800 Woodlawn Drive, Suite #132, Honolulu, Hawaii 96822.

When hacking he enjoys the intricacies of large scale systems all the way up to the response times of beautiful user interfaces. When James is not coding he engages in competitive fighting games and competes in tournaments across the US.

Trevor Alexander, HICapacity member and Student Liaison, will give an informal technical talk about backpack, an ‘information introspection application’ developed at Startup Weekend with the help of a couple of UH student biz devs, a tenacious student from DevLeague (hi Eun Joo!), and some punks from Sudokrew (hi Manny! hi Matt!). Expect bad jokes, terrible commit messages, sappy reminiscence, shoutouts to the community, and maybe even a little lucid code review!
