This months general topic:

"Alternatives"

The theme is to explore alternatives to conventional tools and languages 
when working with mainstream operating systems or development environments.

For example, you may be required to code for the JVM, usually the realm 
of Java the language, but there are other JVM languages (Scala, JRuby, 
Jython).  Likewise for .Net; there's more than just C# and VB.net.

If you are developing on Windows there are alternatives to CMD.exe and 
Visual Studio.

There are various cross-platform editors, IDEs, revision control 
systems,  etc. well worth knowing about.

Let's get together and share what we know about breaking free of 
artificial development boundaries.



Refactor Phoenix is a monthly non-denominational gathering of desert
geeks, dedicated to the open exchange of information in a casual
environment.

We meet on the 4th Wednesday of each month.

If you're a (coder|programmer|software engineer|hacker|developer),
Refactor Phoenix is for you.
