Bill of Rights Day
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Bill_of_Rights
Altho the weather is much better on July 4th, THIS day marks
what was really important in our country's origin.
As British Prime Minister Maggie Thatcher said in her speech
at St. Louis University about 10 years ago...
"What made America different...what made it great...was you
explicitly recognized these rights and put them in your Constitution."
(From memory...I should go back and check the wording.)

Intro to F# language

http://www.meetup.com/stlaltdotnet/
This Month:
Introduction to F#
Because we did not get to discuss F# in November, I have
moved the topic to the Dec meeting. We will be
covering core F# syntax, types, project organization,
parallel programming, and interop with C# projects.
I will use impressive words like "lambda", "closure",
"tail recursion", and "active pattern" to convince
everyone that I know what I am talking about. If there
is a particular F# feature you would like to know about,
please leave a comment on this page and I will do my
best to cover it in Dec.
Every month:
Developers should not align themselves with platforms
and languages, but with principles and ideas.
An "alternative" view of the Microsoft development
universe--a view that challenged the "Microsoft-only"
approach to software development. He distilled his
thoughts into four key developer characteristics which
form the basis of the
ALT.NET philosophy:
1. You're the type of developer who uses what works
while keeping an eye out for a better way.
2. You reach outside the mainstream to adopt the best of
any community: Open Source, Agile, Java, Ruby, etc. ,,,
