Hey everyone, Rob's been busy this weekend so I'm sending off the announce for him. Here's a look at what's going on in Redbrick this week! ==Admin Training== ==Programming Tutorials== ==Hoodie Orders== ==Events Officer EGM== ==Paddy Power Careers Talk== ==Functional Spec. Talk== ==Admin Training== Date: Tuesday 13th of November Time:6pm-7pm Venue: LG 26 Admin training will resume this week with our second session of the year. This weeks topic is "The Magic of RBVM" in which the admins will cover the ins and outs of Redbricks Virtual Machine service. ==Hoodie Orders== If you want a hoodie please sign up at http://redbrick.dcu.ie/~vadimck/hoodies The cost is €25 and must be paid by 28th November or your hoodie will not be ordered. We will be taking payments at Admin Training, Programming Tutorials and the EGM. ==Programming Tutorials== Date: Monday 19th November Time: 5pm-6pm Venue: LG26 Our first session of weekly programming tutorials is being held next week. During these tutorial sessions you will be able to bring along any problems you are having with your code/coding concepts and we'll do our best to help you out. Once again I have to remind you that the tutors helping out at the tutorials are students and as such may not be able to answer all of your problems. Also it should be noted that they will not be able to give you the answers to assignments/labs you are being graded on. If you are having trouble with an assignment or lab we will try to help you understand the problem and how you should go about solving it rather than giving you the answer. If you have any questions regarding the tutorials, send an email to helpdesk@redbrick.dcu.ie . ==Events Officer EGM== As you already know we will be holding an EGM to elect a new Events Officer on Wednesday the 21st of November. We wanted to let you know that we have now confirmed that the EGM will be held in QG21 a 3pm. ==Paddy Power Careers Talk== Cathal Sheridan software development manager in paddy power will be speaking for a careers event in DCU for their IT programme on Wednesday at 2pm in QG 21. All are welcome so pop along if you're interested in careers with Paddy Power or the software which drives their business.

Talk== Date: Tuesday 20th November Time: 5pm-6pm Venue: C114 One of our associate members, Lotta Mikkonen, has kindly offered to hold a talk on writing a functional specification. Lotta is a graduate of DCU's Computer Applications and has much valued experience in writing functional specs for course projects. This is a vital stage in software development and is a necessary skill for any computing student. Hope to see you at some of the events! Eimear Tyrell (beimear) RedBrick Helpdesk 2012/2013
