Announcing Workshop: http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/articles/announcing-intro-to-lisp-workshop/ *INTRO TO LISP WORKSHOP* ** *WHO: *Programmers interested in learning more about Lisp. *HOW MUCH*: The low, low price of 3ish hours of attention span. *WHEN*: Saturday, May 31st from 3pm-6pm. *WHERE*: Institute of Design, 350 N. LaSalle St, 4th floor, Chicago. Map<http://tinyurl.com/4rbmd3> . *WHAT*: A hands-on introduction the the Common Lisp programming language. *Tentative Schedule *(presentations will be 30-60 min)* * - Setting up a Lisp Environment (John Quigley): A hands-on walkthrough of how to setup a Lisp environment, Emacs, and SLIME. There will be documentation beforehand about steps to take and which packages to get. - Lisp Basics and Idioms (Peter Christensen): Lisp syntax, contructs, basic code, idioms and practices. - Common Lisp condition system (need a volunteer) - Macros (Craig Luddington): How Lisp lets you write code that writes code that writes code … and why you'd want to do that. - Demos of cool things in Lisp (need volunteers): showing off both neat and practical things that Lisp can do. We're looking for volunteers to do the following: - Present on the CL condition system - Suggest and present on other aspects of CL not listed here that would be suitable for an introductory session - Walk around and help troubleshoot during the first session about setting up your environment. If you're interested in attending or helping, please email me<http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/contact-me>and include "Intro to Lisp Workshop" at the start of the message.

Fine with me too. I'll have the recaps up this weekend - they're mostly written but I was waiting on the date for the workshop before I posted them.

I've tentatively scheduled the first Lisp Workshop for Saturday, May 31, 2008 at 3:00pm at the Institute of Design[1] in downtown Chicago (right by the Clark/Lake El stop). More details to come, but I want to first confirm that this date works with the various volunteers who will be teaching.
That date is fine with me.
