Functional Brighton is a Brighton, UK meetup group that aims to bring together people interested in functional programming. We hope that it will complement London-based groups (eg. the London Scala User Group, Hoodlums, F#unctional Londoners, etc.), giving Londoners an excuse for a trip to the seaside and Brightonians some relief from the train. After the very well attended first meeting we've settled on the third Tuesday of the month for meetups. Unless announced otherwise, we'll meet at The Sk …

We're a London study group on Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (SICP). SICP is a classic programming text (even if you don't program in lisp) and the breadth and depth of the ideas in the book will certainly improve your craft. But don't take my word for it. Peter Norvig gave a review of it: ".... The book doesn't directly tell you how to design and write an object-oriented program using the subset of object-oriented principles that show up in the syntax of Java or C++. Rather, …

We're in a world where basic 'Fundamentals of Fitness' are often unused, undeveloped and simply underestimated. By simply developing the 'Components of Fitness' into your training program, you can enhance general well being. When I say 'Components of Fitness' I mean (Agility, Stability, Co-ordination, Strength, Core, Flexibility, Speed etc.) Using the phrase "Many small steps make Big leaps." One of the best Forms of Exercise is Sprinting. Granted, its very hard to train at Maximum for very l …

Our global community started out with the launch of the London Silicon Roundabout Tech community in December 2010. Following it's success in …

Welcome to the London Big-O Meetup! This is London's first meetup focusing on data structures and algorithms, regardless of programming language. I started this meetup for a few reasons. There's a general lack of similar events for people interested in the theory or maths behind the tools we use every day—dictionaries, sets, lists and regular expressions are things we all take for granted, but when you reach a large enough scale, the differences between implementations begin to show. It's import …
