This is our second on-line event, as
in-person meetings, of the size that we
usually have, continue to be banned.

One advantage, however, of on-line
events, is that you can have speakers
from all over the world. Our next
speaker, Arno Schödl, Ph.D. -- the
founder, and CTO, of think-cell -- lives
and works in Berlin, Germany. Arno is
responsible for the design, architecture
and development of all of think-cell's
software products. He oversees
think-cell's R&D team, Quality Assurance
and Customer Care. Before founding
think-cell, Arno worked at Microsoft
Research and McKinsey. Arno studied
computer science and management and holds
a Ph.D. from the Georgia Institute of
Technology with a specialization in
Computer Graphics.

Here is Arno's description of the talk
that he will be giving to us on Tuesday
evening, April 6, "A Practical Approach
to Error Handling":

Every program may encounter errors, some
originating from internal bugs in the
program, others coming from the
environment the program is operating
in. Ignoring all errors will make the
program utterly unreliable, while
treating every conceivable one introduces
lots of extra complexity with little
benefit. At think-cell, we have been
using and refining our own principled
approach to error handling, which we have
not seen elsewhere. This lecture teaches
our method, so that you in your next
project, too, can write more reliable
software with less effort.

If you are interesting in attending, please
register here on meetup.com. You will be
able to attend the videoconference even
if you don't register on meetup.com, as
long as you have the above URL; but we
need to know how many people to expect,
so please do register before attending.

Because this is an on-line event, there
is virtually no limit on the number of
people who may attend. We encourage you
to bring guests to watch the talk with
you. Unfortunately, until our in-person
events are allowed to resume, you will be
responsible for providing your own beer.
