If anyone's in Northwest UK on Tuesday 31st May, why not come to Geekup's first ever "Functional Programming Night"?

Just to let you know that the Haskell talk now has slides & screencast available at: http://lanyrd.com/2011/geekup-liverpool-may/sdykh/ Hakim

It'll mostly consist of 3 short talks on Haskell, Lisp, and Clojure:

   * Haskell in the Real World (Hakim @osfameron)    * Implenting a Lisp interpreter in .Net (Simon Johnson)    * Clojure: why you should be interested in a 50 year old language (Tom Mortimer-Jones @morty_uk)

There will also be beer!

The talks are likely to be more "general interest" than assuming deep knowledge of FP, but it would be great to meet anyone around UK NW to gauge interest in more in-depth sessions sometime in the future!

Just wanted to announce May's GeekUp properly. We'll be having a Functional Programming Extravaganza with three (count em', 3!) talks from Hakim Cassimally, Simon Johnson and Tom Mortimer-Jones. Meeting in 3345 on Parr Street as ever, talks starting at 7pm but turn up from 6:30 and we'll be chatting over beer in the bar. Turn-out has been great for the recent events but we're always happy to welcome more people, there's more information on lanyrd: http://lanyrd.com/2011/geekup-liverpool-may/ Let us know you're coming by signing up on that link but feel free to turn up anyway, attendance is free and open to all comers of course.
