[Discuss] Tuesday March 11 VLUG Meeting : Programming!

[Larry Gagnon]

Just a reminder to all members and friends that the monthly VLUG meeting  
is this Tuesday, March 11th. We will meet at UVic, Cornett Bldg, Rm B108,  
7PM, but it is likely we will move to rooom A125 from there (if free. We  
are awaiting formal UVic approval to use Room A125 for future meetings).

John Blomfield will give a talk entitled: "Writing Programs for Linux".  
The first half of the talk will discuss the basic differences between  
programming languages, interpreters and compilers, with some simple  
examples. GUI's, widgets, IDE's and software installation will be  
discussed briefly. In the second half of the talk John will demonstrate  
the use of the IDE KDevelop and Qt Designer, first on some simple programs  
and then progressing to multi-file projects. Discussion will include C++,  
Qt and STL libraries.

This should prove to be an interesting and educational talk for beginners  
and advanced Linux users. Tell all your friends about us and hope to see  
you there.

Larry Gagnon
