The Niagara Frontier Linux Users Group in conjunction with the DCC

workshop on Sunday August 3rd from 1:00pm to 3:00pm in 120 Clemens

The workshop is open to the public and will be taught by Mark Musone,

Western New York Region by creating the Buffalo Linux User Group and

programming language.

Musone was also on the original development team for the Web
programming language, PHP. Using PHP, he designed and scripted the
Web-based e-mail application that served as the foundation for Chek,
