[LispSea] tomorrow: Lisp and Symbolic Programming From the Beginning
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. For links and more information, please visit: http://wiki.alu.org/LispSea 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
Thanks for the update. I talked 3 of my friends/coworkers into coming, so hopefully we'll have a good turn-out. Looking forward to it! Anthony On 6/13/07, Daniel J Pezely <djp07@speakeasy.net> wrote:
