[Pdx-pm] Reminder: Wet-run of "Simple Ways" tonight at 6

[Michael G Schwern]

Just a reminder, practice run of my tutorial is tonight at 6 at Free Geek.
Free Geek is currently a bit of a disaster since they're setting up for the
Geek Fair.  Just tell reception you're here for the tutorial and head back to
the meeting room with all the comfy couches.


What:  "Simple Ways To Be A Better Programmer" practice run

Where: Free Geek
       1731 SE 10th Avenue
       http://freegeek.org

When:  Friday, July 20th
       6pm - 10pm

The official description of the tutorial is here:

In short, the tutorial is about all the things they don't teach you in
computer science.  Documentation, testing, refactoring, testing, task
management... all taught in ways that are:
* Easy to learn
* Easy to do
* Hard to get wrong
* Able to be done by one person

In addition I plan to cover "People", something programmers have a hard time
with, with topics such as:
* How To Learn
* How Not To Be An Asshole

Questions, discussion and feedback are highly encouraged.  In order to
lubricate discussion and make the time go faster, we will be serving martinis.
 You're encouraged to contribute your favorite mixer, booze and swanky martini
glasses.
