We have a calendar that you can subscribe to, you can do so here
BTW We need a Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter , if you have one and you can bring it on the day please also comment on the thread. Thanks
BTW, we tried a more discussion oriented meet up the last time and it was really interesting.
We started off discussing Web Frameworks and we went through the pros and cons of them, then we moved on to mobile devices and the future of development in those devices, heavy mention of iPhone, android, and the N900, and much more.
See you the next time

Hi all:
Just got an email from the people at Seagrass, basically they can’t open on tuedays anymore.
Hence we need to change the date of the next meetup to Wednesday the 20th of January.
Topic and all the rest remains the same.
Can you please reply here to let us know if you are coming?
Thanks
Andrea
Hi all:
New year new format 
.
Basically, instead of someone responsible of presenting a topic, we are going to try this approach of discussing a topic as a group, so please read up on it and be ready to contribute.
The topic is: Web Platforms ( ie: Open Rasta, ASP.NET MVC, Monorail, FubuMVC, Webforms, etc)
- How are they different?
- whats good and what s bad about them?
- When to use one or the other?
- How about smaller frameworks?
- How simple it is to host them in a different platform
- … etc
See you there
Please note change of Date due to Seagrass now being closed on Tuesdays (….)

Hi there:
There is a conference in the UK, called DeveloperDeveloperDeveloper, it happens in several locations across the UK and it even came to Ireland once, ( last year it was in Belfast…) .
This conference is free and Community driven and well wondering if other people are interested in going.
More details on the proposed sessions here
When 30th of January
Where Reading, Uk ( so far the quickest way to get there seems to be plane to Heathrow and then coach)
If you are interested in going and want to do an “Irish convoy” please reply here.
Hi all:
I m writting this post in high spirits. ( and no I m not drunk ..yet )
Just really happy that we got Dublin Alt Net off the ground and all that’s happened this year, including some really interesting talks , visitor talks ( Thanks again Seb), a successful Book club where we meet every week, and most important of all, the opportunity to meet and talk to people that are as passionate about this “programming thing” as we all are.
Thanks all and lets make the next one even more amazing.
Happy Xmas and Happy New Year!
Andrea

Another thing we wanted to try is a code Kata, so once we finish discussing chapter 2 and 3 of Refactoring…
we will try a code Kata ( if you have an excercise you want to try we are all ears) If you are interested, bring your laptop.
See you there
Hi all:
Ten days ago we had our first Open Spaces Coding Day.
There was a few hicups in the organization ( there was wifi there was no plugs) .
We were 7 people, as we all arrived we discussed what we were going to do and then we did it =).
We did some WPF, some Mono hacking(Declan fixed some bugs and committed the changes), and finally some Open Rasta(all of us wanted to be part of this session so we were all trying to create a simple app based on it, and Diego made it run on Mono)
You can find all the code in our repo. You might wonder why is it important to commit the code we do on that day( I know I did), I think it helps keeping the group focused a little bit and it really does work well as a reference back to what happened during that day.
I hope to hear from people to see if we should try to organise another one in January?
I think the venue did not work for us, we need somewhere not too noisy, with plugs and wifi.Suggestions as always very welcome.
Cheers
