But<br> have you ever stopped to think about which ones? And which zeroes? Learn<br> the difference, at least to the computer between 1, 1, and 1, or more<br> precisely, 1.0, '1', and 1. No knowledge of programming is required,<br> although you mind learn some things that even highly-experienced<br> programmers do not know.<br> <br> We will be hosted at the UMBC Training Center, located at 6996 Columbia<br> Gateway Dr #100, Columbia, MD 21046. When you walk in through the mail<br> lobby make a right. We will be at the end of the hall in the last room<br> on the right. Our friends at Aplura will be providing the pizza and soda<br> starting at 6:30. The talk will start about 7pm.<br> <br> We are looking for speakers for the upcoming months. If you have a topic<br> you would like to present on, please let me know and I’ll get you scheduled.<br> <br> <a href="http://calug.org">http://calug.org</a><br> <a href="https://www.umbctraining.com/Home">https://www.umbctraining.com/Home</a><br> <a href="https://aplura.com">https://aplura.com</a><br> <a href="https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/museum">https://www.nsa.gov/about/cryptologic-heritage/museum</a>/<br></blockquote><br></pre><pre class="blue"><hr><br>CALUG mailing list<br>CALUG@unknownlamer.org<br><a href="http://lists.unknownlamer.org/listinfo/calug">http://lists.unknownlamer.org/listinfo/calug</a><br></pre></blockquote></div></body></html>
