McGintys pub is in the centre of Ipswich, not far from our old haunt -
The Milestone. It's directly opposite the town's central library and
has a reputation for good Irish beer.
All are welcome, novices and experienced users. Feel free to ask for
further information on the Main ALUG mailing list.
Last month, we had a discussion about the old tutorials format. When
we first started, we used to take turns showing off various programs
and technologies to each other - which was a popular feature of the
meets. Unfortunately, the number of volunteers began to drop off and
it eventually fell on the shoulders of only one or two members to
organise tutorials each month. This wasn't fair, so they dried up.
However, we decided last month that if we dropped the tutorials to
every other month then if we could get just three people to agree to
be involved, that would mean they would only have to organise one
twice per year. On that basis, we're going to trial bringing them
back - I agreed to arrange the first one, this month.
So tonight's tutorial is going to be on Android Application
Development. I'll go through what the Android platform is, what
technologies are behind it, how to get a development environment up
and running and the creation of some simple applications.
Remember to call or email me, if you're arriving later and want to
ensure I don't wander off, which I have a tendency to do if the
turn-out hits rock-bottom ...
Hope to see you there,
Peter.
Dear ALUG,
This months second Thursday social meeting of ALUG will take place
on 8th October 2009 at The Coach and Horses (82 Thorpe Road, Norwich,
NR1 1BA http://www.thecoachthorperoad.co.uk/ ).
This is our second meeting in the Coach and Horses and it offers food,
a good selection of real beer (including takeouts!) and reasonably good
connections for travel and parking.
There should be people there from 8pm, hopefully someone will bring a
Tux to aid people in recognising us. I look forward to seeing you
tomorrow.
Thanks
Adam
