Join this small group for a step-by-step approach to learn the R language. Each session is filled with real-life examples and participants are welcome to suggest and present topics. If you have just started with R this is the perfect chance to find out about data analysis with a group of people rather than on your own.

If you can code in C/C++, you can code in any language. Moreover, you can tackle any programming problem you want. No other language can make as powerful a claim (perhaps Haskell). However, I've noticed a dearth of Meetup groups devoted to the language (even Haskell has a presence here!) and as an enterprising independent citizen who wants to refresh his own C++ skills, I've created this group, The San Francisco C/C++ Group. My thinking is that there are other people who would like to learn how …

A meetup group to discuss the Go Programming Language. (from golang.org) The Go programming language is an open source project to make programmers more productive. Go is expressive, concise, clean, and efficient. Its concurrency mechanisms make it easy to write programs that get the most out of multicore and networked machines, while its novel type system enables flexible and modular program construction. Go compiles quickly to machine code yet has the convenience of garbage collection and the p …
