February Meeting: Talks and Workshop on Introducing Smalltalk

The next UK Smalltalk User Group meeting is on this coming Monday, 30th January at 6.30pm at it’s usual location   The Counting House . It is going to be in two halves. We are starting with two talks. Frank will be giving an update on the github integration work and Tim will be talking about his experiences with MVP.
