Greetings everyone,<br><br>It's that time of year again. :)<br><div><br></div><div>The
Spring 2009 UNO CSCI 2850 (Programming on the Internet) class invites you
to an evening of lightning talks on Perl programming, the Firefox web
browser and other (mostly) web-related topics.<br>
<br>Lightning Talks are no longer than 5 minutes and can be about
anything: a new idea, an evaluation, an observation, a story, a
complaint, an explanation, a suggestion, a report of success or
failure, a call to action, a description of a technique, technology, or
a lament.</div>
<div><br></div>Usually we split the talks over two nights, but this semester it's going to be one, big solid night of talks.<br><ul><li>Where: Peter Kiewit Institute, Room 252 ( <span style="font-family: Verdana;"><a href="http://tinyurl.com/5g83cb" target="_blank">http://tinyurl.com/5g83cb</a> )<br>
