FoRGe: Focussed Reading Groups

What is a FoRGe?

A new format and style for organizing reading groups that the Software Practices Lab is trying out in 2006. A Focussed Reading Group (or "FoRGe" for short) focusses on a particular topic or related set of topics for a short period of time. The time is not exactly determined and may differ from topic to topic (depending on how quickly we run out of steam) but around 6 weeks seems like a good target.

Since FoRGes are focussed to particular topics, people can join (or not) when they are interested in a topic (or not).

Potentially several FoRGes could run concurrently if there is enough interest.

Upcoming FoRGes

• Web Programming FoRGe: starts after reading break.
