This month, we're going to do something different and fun.

There's a programming website called Advent of Code:
https://adventofcode.com

It's an Advent calendar of 25 small programming puzzles for a variety of
skill
sets and levels that can be solved in any programming language you like.

You can see the first puzzle at https://adventofcode.com/2024/day/1

We've rustled up a few volunteers to show us how they solved it in the
following languages:

   - C++ - Wolf
   - Lua - Wolf
   - Pandas - Wolf
   - Racket - Wolf
   - Rust - Wolf
   - Perl - Jim McQuillan
   - vim9script - Jim McQuillan
   - Awk - Jim McQuillan
   - SQL - Jim McQuillan
   - ZIG - Justin Triplett
   - Python - James Peterson
   - Swift - Dave Satwicz
   - Haskel - Joe Ryan

We should be able to get through each language in 5-15 minutes. Hopefully
that'll
allow enough time to explain how the solution works.

We've created a Github repo so we can collaborate and share:
https://github.com/MichiganUnixUserGroup/MUG-2025-03-11-Advent-of-Code

If you'd like to volunteer, clone the repo or join us at the meeting and
show us how you've solved the puzzle using your favorite language.

Also, as we've been doing the last several months, we'll be doing a short
presentation on a Unix/Linux topic. This month it'll be the *cd* command
and directory navigation.

Hope to see you all there!
