First 20 min is A meet+greet. We spend an hour on learning syntax, where it's used, examples of it being used effectively. Beginners are welcome.  Many patient people come to these and can help you get your machine setup to program effectively. 2nd hour on is getting down to the practice of programming using community projects as a base. Don't worry if you don't have a machine. We are meeting in a computer lab that currently accommodates 26. Save your work online so you can access it when you ge …

We're a group of folks who use / are interested in building scalable software solutions: websites that can handle 100 million pageviews a day; indexing trillions of documents; solutions that are localized, responsive and highly available to the entire online world. We have presentations and discussions on technologies, techniques and development practices that enable systems to scale.

The Cloud was open-sourced right here in San Antonio. We should be talking about this!
