From User Interfaces to Macros

This meetup will have two presentations: Robert Carbone will present on wxErlang which can be used to build graphical user interfaces, and Jason Fertel will present on building a domain-specific language using macros.

We're excited to have Jackpocket hosting us again! Pizza and beer will be provided.

Full details are below.

About Robert Carbone:

Robert Carbone has always had an affinity for keyboards - acoustic & digital. Fluent in music theory, graphic design and armed with a Masters of Accountancy, his passion lies in the valuation of intangibles — more specifically, analyzing & graphically representing them in conceptual frameworks.

His journey to develop wearable tech led him to Erlang. Once he got deeper into coding, he recognized a need to make the wxErlang Libraries more accessible to the community.

Robert is currently spearheading the hack of wxErlang's 230+ modules. His recurring code and tutorial publications can be found on ScriptCulture.com. ScriptCulture was founded to elevate awareness of Erlang code & the art of calligraphy and, ultimately, to introduce both into academic curriculum.

When he isn't being an evangelist for Erlang you will find him longboarding around a city, snagging a disc(frisbee) or composing, at a keyboard.
