The First Time

We didn't code at all - but tonight was fantastic. Topics of discussion included:

• Our individual reasons to take the leap and begin programming
• Project ideas (from games, to democracy, to a variation on the Traveling Salesman problem)
• An introduction to some programming vocabulary
• variables
• arrays
• functions
• booleans
• compiled languages and compilers
• javascript, c, assembly, and python
• turing completeness
• Future format (a loose idea)
• meet on the 1st and 3rd Mondays of every month
• 30 minutes to chat
• 30 to learn something new
• 30 to pair program
• 30 to show off a personal project
• The possibility of building our own tools
• The Map of Javascript
• Cloud 9
