Please note change of topic
Rodney Brown will demonstrate the HP minicomputer OS "Multi-Programming
Executive" running on the SIMH emulator.
Andrew Pam will lead a hands-on Python programming class using the
learnpython.org website. Suitable for people with no programming skills
or with existing skills in other languages. Bring your own laptop or use
the desktop machines on site.
There will also be the usual casual hands-on workshop, Linux
installation, configuration and assistance and advice. Bring your laptop
if you need help with a particular issue. This will now occur BEFORE the
talks from 12:30 to 14:00. The talks will commence at 14:00 (2pm) so
there is time for people to have lunch nearby.
The meeting will be held at Infoxchange, 33 Elizabeth St. Richmond 3121
(enter via the garage on Jonas St.)
Late arrivals, please call (0490) 049 589 for access to the venue.
LUV would like to acknowledge Infoxchange for the venue.

random side topics such as how to deal with heat problems in PCs.
Russell Coker has done lots of Linux development over the years, mostly
involved with Debian.

Functional Programming
----------------------
>From Wikipedia: In computer science, functional programming is a
programming paradigm—a style of building the structure and elements of
computer programs—that treats computation as the evaluation of
mathematical functions and avoids changing-state and mutable data. It is
a declarative programming paradigm, which means programming is done with
expressions or declarations instead of statements. In functional code,
the output value of a function depends only on the arguments that are
input to the function, so calling a function f twice with the same value
for an argument x will produce the same result f(x) each time.
Eliminating side effects, i.e. changes in state that do not depend on
the function inputs, can make it much easier to understand and predict
the behavior of a program, which is one of the key motivations for the
development of functional programming.
Dr Les Kitchen is an Honorary Senior Research Fellow in the Department
of Computer Science and Software Engineering at The University of Melbourne.
