The next online meeting of the RISC OS User Group Of London will be:

From Fortran to Fireworkz, a programmer's voyage
Presented by Stuart Swales, Acornsoft and Colton Software

Monday 21st September 2020, 7:45pm

Online via Zoom, meeting open from 7.30pm

Back in the 80s, Stuart Swales worked at Acornsoft producing software for
the BBC Micro, particularly programming languages. When Acorn found
themselves with no operating system for their super new ARM powered
Archimedes, Stuart became part of the team for Project Arthur, coding
parts of the OS that would become RISC OS.

In the 90s he moved on to become lead programmer at Colton Software,
working on the integrated wordprocessor/spreadsheet/database application PipeDream and its "successor" Fireworkz. PipeDream and Fireworkz are now
open source and free to download, and he still maintains them both. (Note Fireworkz Pro is still a commercial application available from R-Comp)

Stuart will be joining us from his cottage in Scotland to tell us about
his long history with Acorn and RISC OS, and how it all started.


This meeting will be held online via Zoom. Please contact us to receive
