[compsoc-announce] 6th week talks

[Michael Howe]

Hi all,

Just a quick reminder that our talk tonight is  "Applying Good
Practice to a Misused Language" [0].  I know I personally have written
some _hideous_ PHP, so it'll definitely be good to see how they suggest
doing it better.

If you aren't a member yet, and are planning on turning up, this is an
_ideal_ time to become a member.  Life membership is only £10, and
is definitely worth it (for a start, it lets us afford to pay people's
travel expenses, which makes people more likely to come and talk to us.
You also get to turn up to our TGMs and tell us what you'd like to see
more or less of, and the list would go on if I wasn't already late.).
Feel free to grab any of the committee if you want to become a member.

While plugging talks, there's also a BCS [1] talk on Thursday:
"Extending existing applications for secure mobile use - how tough can
that be?" "Industry analyst research reflects that mobile working is a
key priority for European enterprises this year.  Stef Coetzee, Senior
VP International, NetMotion Wireless, will cover the many challenges
which include performance and reliability, network coverage - and
keeping those corporate bean-counters happy.." More info can be found at

speaker's name, I just can't think why...)

Apologies for the slightly rushed email - lectures call.

Michael
