Brown Bag Seminars (that means you can bring your lunch):
These seminars are devoted to a wide-ranging selection of technical presentations of interest to the participants. They will start at the beginning of the Fall Semester. In them, participants will make presentations on a variety of topics. The idea is that we will talk about things we are currently working on or are interested in enough to devote considerable effort to make a good presentation.
This spring We will be circulating my copies of the texts: Beyond Java, Bruce Tate, O'Reilly, 2005 Programming Ruby, Second Edition, Dave Thomas, The Pragmatic Bookshelf, 2005 You may wish to acquire copies of your own - the books are excellent. I've seen them both at Barnes and Noble, on Erie Blvd.
