February Meeting of the Chicago LUG

Speaker: Christopher Allan Webber, "Live Network Coding with 8sync"

Isn't network programming a pain? Wouldn't it be nice if you could live code and explore the system you're building as you go? Enter 8sync, an actor model library for GNU Guile that's built to support evolving your networked application as it runs. This talk will exchew the traditional slide presentation model in favor of the audience participating in an 8sync powered multiplayer game, where each room serves as a "slide". What other talk combines all the fun elements of network hacking, multiplayer games, and choose your own adventure style exploring?

There will be time after the talk for socializing and hacking. If you'd like to participate, bring a project to work on!
