Re: [atlanta-scala] Next Meetup Ideas

From: John W.
Sent on: Thursday, November 19, 2009, 4:50 PM
Just to re-iterate and make sure we're all in agreement before I create a new Meetup date:

1) I will be presenting ScalaTest
2) Gabriel will give a small presentation on DSLs
3) Charles will give a small presentation on using currying to create custom control structures

If we can think of some other stuff, we can add them on to the list time permitting.

If I don't hear back from anyone, I'm listing the above three as the main events for now and creating the new Meetup event first thing tomorrow.

Cheers,

John

If we're doing multi-topic, I can volunteer to do a small presentation
about DSLs, and let you have ScalaCheck one :)
