Hi All
I'm a software engineer at Validus on Princes Street in Norwich and have been an active member of the ACCU (www.accu.org) for nearly 10 years. While I was working for Lehmans at Canary Wharf I helped set up the London ACCU chapter. It continues to run monthly development related events, which usually take the form or a 60min presentation by a speaker.
I think there are about 5 ACCU members in Norwich, which isn't really enough to setup a local chapter, but there are plenty of software companies (validus, virgin money, virgin wines, aviva, etc).
So the reason I'm emailing you guys is to see if there's an appetite for doing something similar in Norwich..? Maybe quarterly to begin with.
What do you think? How many here are developers?
Used to be an ACCU member last century. (1990s) Even had a couple of articles published. Gave it up as I've done hardly any (paid for) C this century.
Almost due for retirement now, so not really worth it.
