[Nottingham] [Talks] *** TODAY *** 17/08/05 1: Databases; 2: SCM

[Martin]

Folks,

Reminder for later today:


TODAY (17/08/05) we are proud to present two 'demi-talks':

> 1: Databases {DJF}
> 
> Not so long ago in a Lugmeet not far away a riddler did pose these 
> questions three...
> 
>    1. What is a database?
>    2. Why or when should I use a database?
>    3. How do I use a database?
> 
> These questions will be answered in this introductory who where what why 
> when of databases and how to access them from your 
> C/PERL/Python/PHP/COBOL ...... code.
> 
> 
> 2: Source Code Management {RP}
> 
> If you develop software/documents/websites then SCM is a tool you will 
> use frequently as an editor.
> 
> Open source and its ideals of sharing depend on being able to 
> effectively transmit the changes in a project from one contributor to 
> another. SCM is the "killer app" of sharing change.
> 
> So on this whirlwind tour of SCM we will cover:
> 
>     * SCM context: what it is
>     * SCM approaches: file vs. patch
>     * RCS and VSS: wrinkly SCM
>     * CVS and Subversion: for all you prospective sourceforge junkies
>     * Git and Arch: patching and proud
> 
> 
> All at the usual venues.
> See http://www.nottingham.lug.org.uk/

See you folks there,

Cheers,
Martin
