What's a hackathon!?
A hackathon is an open day where we have talks, projects, socialization, and more! It's open to the public and free to check out, so be sure to come down to SkullSpace - second floor of 374 Donald St - to check us out!
For our May/2013 hackathon, we're going to have a special guest speaker - Dr John Bate, the head of the Computer Science department at the University of Manitoba! He'll be kicking things off at about 2pm with a talk about various programming language types - procedural vs. functional vs. declarative - followed by some examples of each. Mak, Alex, and Jay will all be speaking on specific unusual languages.
Bonus
We'll be ordering some pizza around 1pm, so come down for lunch! It'll be by-donation, so pay what you can!
Schedule
| When | Who | What | Description |

| 2:00 | Dr John Bate | Intro to esoteric languages | What the heck is a procedural language? Or, for that matter, functional or declarative? Come see John Bate speak and find out! Targeted toward average programmers - not experts in the field - this will be a great introduction to the world outside of the typical C/Java/Ruby/.net world that most of us live in! |
