moin moin der.hans,

I'm going to have to let Qubes slide until I get all my Flex/Bison
material finished, and until I get my HTML5/CSS course on a paying
basis. If Qubes gets generally accepted as an alternative, I'll invite
you to give a Qubes presentation at a GoLUG meeting, so I (and everyone
else) can learn the easy way.

Speaking of Flex/Bison, you wouldn't believe the progress both David
Billsbrough and I have made on the subject. I've assembled tens of key
understandings that are necessary to even start learning Flex/Bison,
such that at tomorrow's GoLUG meeting, anybody who listens to my
presentation will be in a position to learn Flex/Bison and Backus-Knaur
Format (BNF) in a straightforward manner with a minimum of frustration.
David Billsbrough's presentation (also tomorrow night right after mine)
gives the audience foundational truths about the nuts and bolts of
compiler making. It will be a night to remember.

Once again, the meeting is Wednesday, 12/6/2023, 7PM Eastern Standard
Time, at https://meet.jit.si/golug

Thanks,

SteveT
