[Bradford] Re-learning coding

[John McLear]

Want me to do a session on using NodeJS and client side Javascript (in the browser and possibly a native app) to create/store/parse JSON?  XML isn't really what people consume nowadays.

Lots of other Bradlugers could prolly run the same presentation(better than me), might be a good chance to have a collaborative presentation..

Yo Andy!  Yeah it'll be good to see you again :-)

I'm in the same boat as you.  Everything I've done since 198* has been
shell scripting or equivalent (and can rant to order about what's
wrong with bash).  I left uni with the 1980 version of object
oriented, which was a great improvement on everything that followed in
C++, Java etc (on the one hand) and the newer academic toy languages
(on the other hand).

I'd say the obvious choices are Python and Go.  Go looks really good
to me.  Javascript is suddenly very trendy.  If you're tempted towards
PHP or C++ or the faux-portability of C#, go and lie down until the
feeling passes.

Just my opinion
-D.
