• Uptown Func<> Delegates for Everyday Development

  Do delegates seem too cryptic and complicated for everyday development? Are you confused every time you see a Lambda expression in code? They don't have to be so mysterious, because .NET brings you a plethora of built-in functionality and C# makes them easy to use. In this session we'll Func up until you've got a handle on how delegates work.  We'll explore how, why, and when you should use delegates in your code. You will see examples of practical applications for everyday development use and how delegates and Lambdas bring you closer to mastery of Linq.

• Greetings,

  We have two presentations on the list:

  1) The first presentation deals with issues of accessibility and assistive technology in Linux. What's out there in the world of open source for people with disabilities? The scheduled talk includes a general look at assistive tech followed by some demonstrations of accessibility devices using the Raspberry Pi.

  2) "I don't know. I will come up with something." -Joey :-)

  Should be a good time as always and I look forward to hearing what the presenters have as well as seeing all of you!
