WE'VE MOVED!  See below. ------------------------- Hi Everyone, Thanks for checking out our single parents helping single parents group. Things have been slow to get going in this group on the Meetup site.  The consensus is that Meetup is not the right vehicle for a group of this nature.  Meetup is designed for specific events at specific times and is not a very good communication tool.  It does have a discussion board, but it is clunky and no one uses it. So we're moving. From now on the GO …

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. My thinking is that there are other people who would like to learn how to program in C++, and we'd love to be the one to help them, while brushing up on our skills at the same time. Convoluted languages like Java & Ruby dominate the scene, despite being characteristically less efficient, more difficult to scale, and just plain more dif …

As an East Coast transplant I miss those lively, intellectual conversations with my witty, sarcastic, well-travelled, well educated cosmopolitan friends and San Francisco is too far from my South Bay base. I envision a group of bright, open minded, outgoing and opinionated "women of a certain age" who get together to talk about everything from their travels, trials and tribulations to politics and ethics and well ... life. We'll wine and dine, attend cultural events, enjoy all that the Bay Area …
