Summary: Frances Buontempo reports from the London chapter.

Body: 

On January 10th 2018 we started the new year with a joint meetup with C++ London [1], organised by Phil Nash. There were two talks, jointly titled ‘Origami and state machines’.

On 12th February we invited Jason Gorman, Managing Director of Codemanship [4] to talk about .Net Code Craft. We fed him a couple of pints first and he asked not to be recorded, so if you weren’t there you’ve missed it!

He talked about the five factors that make code more difficult and expensive to change, and explored how we can write code that delivers value today, and leaves the door open to delivering more value tomorrow.

We saw a hands-on demo, refactoring some unpleasant code to make it easier to work with.

Both sessions were really well attended. We’re looking forward to the rest of the talks this year. If you’d like to speak, put a message on our meetup page [5] or get in touch with Ralph (ralph@dibase.co.uk), Fran (frances.buontempo@gmail.com) or Steve (steve@arventech.com).

It would be wonderful if someone from each of the local groups sent CVu@accu.org a short write up of when their talks/workshops etc. happened and what they were about. Don’t wait for the organisers to do this – anyone can write it up!

Don’t forget to check the local groups page on our website [6] to see if there’s a group near you. If there isn’t why not contact Nigel at nigellester99@gmail.com to find how to start one?
