What?
Getting Started with Git, by Kostas Avlonitis
In ‘Getting Started with Git’ we will examine Version Control Systems and Git in particular. We’ll start with why you shouldn’t fear Git, briefly skim over local vs. centralised vs. distributed VCS, then go a bit deeper with a few core Git concepts. Getting down on a practical level we’ll cover basic configuration, setting up a repository, tracking files, branching and merging. If time permits we’ll go hands-on.
Kostas has been programming and pulling computers apart since he was 7 (two words: Oric Atmos). A serial IT entrepreneur, he admires all things practical. When not involved in The-Next-Big-Thing™ he freelances.
Regular Expressions, by Ben Dechrau
With regular expressions (REs) rearing their ugly heads on the mailing
list again, Ben will introduce expressions, discuss the expression
engine and how to optimise expressions for performance, and give a
practical demonstration in to the use of Perl Compatible Regular
Expressions (PCRE) in PHP.
Time permitting, he will also discuss REs in other contexts such as the
mod_rewrite module for Apache’s httpd server.
Participants are encouraged to bring their RE related problems in order
to make the demonstration more applicable to real-life situations.
Then?
We head to the Oxford Scholar Hotel or another nearby pub at about 9pm for drinks and socialising.
