Well I kind of like Argyle myself... ah sorry, wrong group, you guys are not interested in those sorts of patterns then? In that case, I'd better talk about my favourite design and enterprise patterns. I'll show you what the are, what they are used for and then I'll russle up a coded example - just for the hell of it! If you've heard of design and enterprise patterns and want to find out a bit more, or if you know about them already but just want to see how someone else does it, then this talk just might float your boat.

Speaker Biography:
Gary Short was employed as a canoeist, but was presumed dead after disappearing under mysterious circumstances, only to reappear 5 years later. Gary had used this time to secretly re-train as a software Jedi and now plies his trade throughout the known galaxies, where he sells his skills to the highest bidder. Outside of his dog, his laptop is his best friend; inside of his dog, it's too dark to use it.

Past comments about this speaker:
Gary has consistently received high scores in our speaker evaluation including the top score we've received.

The event is FREE. If you want to attend please just turn up and feel free to bring a guest. The doors open at 18:30 for a 19:00 start.
