Upcoming talk to the Cambridge UK Meetup, Thursday 13 Aug (Shake 'n' Bake)

I'll be talking at the Cambridge NonDysFunctional Programmers Meetup this coming Thursday (13 Aug 2015). Doors open at 7:00pm with talk 7:30-8:30pm, followed by beer/food. I'll be talking about Shake 'n' Bake. The abstract is:

Shake is a Haskell build system, an alternative to Make, but with more powerful and accurate dependencies. I'll cover how to build things with Shake, and why I laugh at non-Monadic build systems (which covers most things that aren't Shake). Shake is an industrial quality library, with a website at http://shakebuild.com.

Bake is a Haskell continuous integration system, an alternative to Travis/Jenkins, but designed for large semi-trusted teams. Bake guarantees that all code arriving in your master branch passes all tests on all platforms, while using as few resources as possible, allowing you to have hours of tests, 100's of commits a day and one a few lonely test servers. Bake is held together with duct tape.

I look forward to seeing people there.
