Tomorrow:

   * Topic: Lisp and Symbolic Programming From the Beginning

   * Presenter: Ira J. Kalet, Ph.D., Professor
                http://www.radonc.washington.edu/faculty/ira/

   * Date: Thursday, June 14, 2007
   * Time: 6:15 - 7:45 PM
   * Location: Capitol Hill branch of library
   * Cost: Free and open to the public of all ages

This session will introduce the basic ideas that make Lisp a
uniquely powerful programming language, illustrated with examples
from biomedical applications, including molecular biology, drug
interactions and cancer treatment.

If time allows, we will introduce functional programming, CLOS,
the Meta-Object Protocol and macros.

If there is interest but insufficient time, a second session is
possible.

The session is for both experienced Lispers and those new to
Lisp.

Getting there:

This meeting will take place at the Capitol Hill branch of the Seattle
Public Library at Harvard Ave E and E Republican St. (This event is not
sponsored by The Seattle Public Library.)

Metro Bus within three blocks: 8, 9, 43, 49, 60; within eight blocks:
10, 11, 14, 15.

Parking is free yet challenging on nearby streets or has mandatory "pay
station" use on Broadway until 6PM, so best options may be underground
garages. There's limited free parking under the Library and a larger
commercial garage under QFC grocery store (formerly Fred Meyer) with
entrance 1 block away on E Harrison St.

Please! Please! Please silence your gear before entering the building...
it's a library, after all!!!

The meeting rooms are upstairs, and we'll be in the large one above the
Check-out Desk.

The Library and its garage close promptly at 8 PM. Conversations may
continue at various coffee houses, taverns, bars and restaurants in the
neighborhood.

For those arriving early, there's Wi-Fi available free of charge and no
shortage of things to read...

We hope to see you there!

Thanks!
-Daniel
