APL BUG Biweekly Round-Table Discussion Thursday, July 11th, 2024, 6:00 PM Pacific Time
It's been suggested that the Northern California APL ACM Chapter (or APL Bay Area Users' Group or APL BUG) try meeting more often. Zoom has been set up for meetings every other Thursday, (alternating with British APL Association meetings) at a time that may be more convenient for people in the San Francisco Bay Area - 6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time (1 a.m. Friday UTC).
Please download and import the following iCalendar (.ics) files to your calendar system.
Questions or comments on any topic related to APL, J, K, or other programming language derived from Iverson notation will be welcomed.
Northern California APL ACM Chapter is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting.
