Put this on your calendar: * 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 directions and more information, please visit: http://wiki.alu.org/LispSea
