Developers' fireside chat - 7th February

Followups directed to: comp.sys.acorn.programmer

Show all headers | View raw

Saturday, 7th February offers people involved or interested in software 
development for RISC OS the opportunity to once again to meet up online 
and discuss the issues and problems they face, seek help, offer advice, 
demonstrate what they’re working on, or just generally chat about the 
things programmers like to chat about.

The meetings take place using the Zoom video conferencing software - 
https://zoom.us/ - which is available for most platforms. They are wholly 
informal and don’t follow a set agenda – those present steer the 
conversation as the evening progresses – and as an example, at the last 
such meeting topics included:

* The speed of compiling code on some modern RISC OS machines.

* Gerph’s ‘live coding’ sessions on YouTube (which take place on Sunday’s 
from around 1pm).

* Tokenisation oddities with third party software handling BBC BASIC 
files.

* Issues in the BBC BASIC assembler when dealing with VFP and Neon – and 
from that, some general discussion of ARM instruction sets.
Some of the new features found in the not yet released NemoBASIC.

The meetings are open to anyone, regardless of their programming prowess - 
you could be someone with no programming experience looking for advice on 
where to begin and what tools to use, an expert with many years of 
development behind you, or anything between the two extremes; all are 
welcome.

To join the meeting, you will need a platform on which Zoom can be run, 
along with the meeting credentials. If you've joined a previous fireside 
chat, those credentials remain unchanged, but if not you can get them via 
one of these routes:

You can contact Andrew McCarthy on Twitter at https://twitter.com/
ArmBytes  or Mastodon at https://mastodon.online/@armbytes - or from your 
RISC OS computer using ChatCube.

Or you can send a message to me here in the RISCOSitory bunker (by 
replying to this message via email). Please note, though, that any emails 
sent to me on the day of the meeting itself will not receive a reply 
until  very close to the meeting's start time!

If you can't wait until the next meeting to discuss RISC OS development 
issues with others, or want to continue a discussion started at the 
meeting, there is also now a Discord discussion forum - The RISC OS 
Coding  Community, which can be joined at:
