Programming Groups

17-06-2008 1:51pm#1Hey Guys,
I was thinking about setting up a programming group for people who would like to share and work on idea's with other programmers.
The main idea behind this group would be that programmers across all different fields (Java, .NET, linux etc) and different skill levels could come together and come up with projects to work on between them and hopefully learn new skills.
The group would be open to beginers and the more advanced programmers.
I dont know if anything like this already is out there but I thought if not I could be a good idea.
Of course this group meet regularly (in a pub)
Well let me know what you all think etc.
Ta,
D & D0

Awsome....looks like where putting the band back together
I'd like to hear from some of the first year college students too. Cause I know when I was in college I would have loved something like this. Not to get someone else to do my homework but rather to have exposure to other technologies and ppls methods.
remember the point of this group is to get ppl of all levels of skills! so no1 would ever be turned away0 -

Are you talking about setting up a group through www.social.ie? I've been thinking about it but don't have the time to run such a group. I'd gladly join one though.
well I hadnt planned on doing it through social.ie but I'm open to it. I was thinking along the lines of having our own site and forums.
With regards to the time running the group I would accept full resonsibility for this or in an even better situation have a group of us who would run the whole thing. I like the idea of having the group run by the group as a whole.
I personally would be willing to pay for hosting etc for a website, altho if ppl wanted to contribute that would be good too 0 -

No worries,
I was thinking of even a get together with some of the heads that would be interested and toss around some ideas (get drunk too )
I think the next step would be getting a site together etc. I can look after the hosting at the end of the month when pay day comes along. Any ideas of site / group names etc0 -
I'm in Galway, hopefully that doesn't preclude me from joiningDone and dusted wrote: »Geographically where are ppl situated?

Looks like theres a fair bit of interest in this idea
So in terms of a site name how about irishcoders.ie?
I was thinking of hosting this with hosting365, I've used them in the past and it all seems to be good. What do others think about 365 any others you could recommend?0 -

Watch out or myself and kayos will start our own Galway-based group. Ok I'll be quite
To the rest of the posts:
Sorry for not replying until now! Welcome aboard guys.
Once I sort out the hosting etc we can get this thing full underway
On that note anyone good with websites / forums? I was just going to use some templates but if anyone would like to manage the site that would be extra cool!0 -

This sounds like a good idea. Finished 1st year computer science in may and I'd like to get some more practical experience in, and like you said, exposure to other methods, etc. I dual-boot with linux, but im useless with the command-line, so learning some linux would be good.
And as long as its free 0 -

I'd be interested in joining the group, just getting into codeing so I'll be the wone with all the noob questions
On your point above, I reckon you'd be better off using a template to get the thing up and running fast. If someone wanted to manage the site later on they could always do that.

I have setup forums in the past so if you are setting one up I can definitely assist.Done and dusted wrote: »On that note anyone good with websites / forums? I was just going to use some templates but if anyone would like to manage the site that would be extra cool!
I've also developed websites but I prefer to focus on development aspects as I am far from a designer. Templates are useful to get things off the ground quickly but watch out if you're trying to make changes down the line as they often use table-based layouts that are a royal pain in the arse to alter. 0
