What is a Grok Talk?
A Grok Talk is a short 5 to 15 minute presentation on a specific subject aimed at giving a broad overview to the audience.
For the audience it acts as a taster allowing you get to know a little about a subject you may not already have known much about.
For the speaker it gives a chance to folks who may not have had the opportunity to speak before, or for those that would like to speak but are unsure about it. (if you would like to speak then please get in touch by emailing me at colin@scottishdevelopers.com)
The event:
The evening will be a smorgasbord of subjects packaged in to short 5 to 15 minutes talks with lots of interaction as well. The subject area of software development is too large for everyone to know everything, so this is a fantastic taster for learning a little bit about stuff you don't know much about already.
Afterwards:
As is customary we shall retire to Waxy O'Connor's for a few drinks and a chance to socialise.
Venue:
Room 16 (Level 2) of the Continuing Professional Developement Centre at Glasgow Caledonian University. See Google Maps for the location and near by transport links and the Campus Map (look for CPD Centre / building 2) for directions.
Time:
Tuesday, 11th March, 2008 starting at 19:00 (Doors open from 18:30)
