Scripting Meeting
AKA: Write-only code
Friday, October 8, 2021 · 4 - 6 PM
Hi everyone,
This meeting will be a more casual one. We'll discuss scripting.
A scripting language ... is a programming language ... that automates the execution of tasks that would otherwise be performed individually by a human operator. Scripting languages are usually interpreted at runtime rather than compiled.In particular we're probably mostly going to focus on Bash scripting. Bring your laptops if you want; there will probably be a bit of an interactive component.In the last hour or so of the meeting, we'll also take some time to discuss the server purchase for the spring semester, and maybe work on some club projects such as a Discord bot.
The meeting will, as always, be hybrid, meaning you can either attend in-person or virtually. If you're comfortable with
in-person, come to ILSB237 at 4PM. If you prefer to meet virtually, join the Jitsi room at 4PM: https://meet.jit.si/SADClubFall2021Hybrid
If you have any questions at all, feel free to email nbura1@umbc.edu or put a message in the Discord. Hope to see you all there!
