[Nottingham] [Talk] This *THURSDAY* 04/07/2013: The Art of Code

[Martin]

Folks,

This *THURSDAY* 04/07/2013:

*The Art of Code*


A very famous codesmith[*] has devoted his life to collected wisdom for
the Art of Programming collected into a Grand Opus. And he's become
pretty much a legend and is still going strong!

This talk and demonstration is not about that. We haven't got a 4-year
degree course to spare :-)


More meaningfully for the evening and for how I was reminded one recent
evening:

What /is it/ that makes code 'beautiful'?

Can coding /be/ beautiful?


Get your bits along to see for yourself this *THURSDAY*	at our old haunt
at Fellows, Morton and Clayton. (No football! And food promised.)

7:30pm meet and food;
8:00pm-ish talk and discussions.

At: Fellows Morton and Clayton
54 Canal Street, Nottingham, NG1 7EH

Good beer and food served up until 8pm.


Cheers,
Martin



[*]: Donald Knuth:

The Art of Computer Programming (sometimes known by its initials TAOCP)
is a comprehensive monograph written by Donald Knuth that covers many
kinds of programming algorithms and their analysis.

Knuth began the project, originally conceived as a single book with
twelve chapters, in 1962. The first three of what was then expected to
be a seven-volume set were published in 1968, 1969, and 1973. The first
installment of Volume 4 (a paperback fascicle) was published in 2005.
The hardback volume 4A was published in 2011. Additional fascicle
installments are planned for release approximately biannually.
