Just a quick reminder that it's the next £5app this Tuesday. We've got quite a full line-up and we could have had more - it looks like people have been very busy this summer:
This is probably my first attempt at "literary programming", though using that phrase may be taking liberties a little. In this case by "literary programming" I mean - programming inspired by literature. The literature in question is Cryptonomicon by Neal Stephenson. Cryptonomicon already features a Perl script in it's pages, but …
The next Brighton and Hove Python User Meet will be the 18th of February 2009 at the [STRIKEOUT:Hampton Arms] Farm Tavern. As per usual we'll be sharing the venue with the Farm. Now that there's a google group setup for these meets they might happen a bit more often …
So after writing a 5K Twitter Client, a 5K TODO app and a 5K Fullscreen Text Editor I thought that'd be enough example apps to get things started. However while adding a list of app ideas to the 5K App page I suddenly decide that one of the ideas really …
After a 5K Java Twitter client and a 5K Javascript TODO list app, the next example 5K App is a wxPython fullscreen text editor. Much like Writeroom and Duncan's JDarkroom (both of which are more fully featured) it lets you edit text files in "distraction-free" fullscreen. Ideal for creative writing …

More 5K App preparations. After using Java to write a 5K Twitter Client it's time to change languages and dive into some Javascript. So the next 5K app is a TODO list app (a bit like 37Signals Ta-da List). The app runs locally in a browser that support the local …
So as part of preparations for the 5K App I'm writing a few example apps. The first one so far is a 5K Twitter Client, which makes it smaller than the Twitter logo itself (at 5.4K).
Check out the demo video to see it in action or download 5KTwit …
Well whilst I've been ill it looks like Ian has been on an organizing rampage. So as well as Aleks talking about Spaceship! we've also got several shorter talks/demos on:
The next £5app meet is a week tomorrow (Thursday 18th September). Just as last time it's going to be a Democamp and so far we've got several demos lined up (including myself with the Chumby Podcatcher). See the wiki page for more details on the demos.
If you have something …
