[toronto-lisp] Event that you guys might be interested in
by Michael DiBernardo 13 Jul '09

13 Jul '09

Hey all, I've only attended one meetup of this user group, sometime last summer. I remember we talked a bit about Let over Lambda, and some reasoning engine that had been written in CLISP or something. Anyhow, despite my lack of attendance, I'd still like to invite you guys to this event that I'm running on August 8th over at Novell/PlateSpin. It's a code retreat, hosted by J.B. Rainsberger (http://jbrains.ca) where you pair up with another developer and work on some problems together, basically. I think it would be great to have a few Lispy 'representatives' in attendance, because I think you guys have a lot of ideas that you could present in such an venue that would be really new to the other folks, but at the same time would probably be well-received. (So far the people who've agreed to come are pretty open-minded, knowledge-hungry folks.) I'm going to forward the invite to the list in a subsequent email. Hopefully I'll see some of you there! Thanks, -Mike

[toronto-lisp] Toronto Lisp Users Group Meeting -- Tuesday June 2nd @LinuxCaffe
by Vishvajit Singh 02 Jun '09

02 Jun '09

Hello everyone! Our next meeting is coming up soon. Toronto Lisp Users Group -- June Meeting: June 2nd, 6pm, Linux Caffe (Walk south of Bloor from Christie Station, until you hit Harbord Street) AS USUAL: We're looking for volunteers for talks, discussion, tutorials. Your current projects, proposal for projects, libraries you like, tutorials or related Lispy languages, issues relevant to Lisp, etc. So I still haven't received my Clojure book, although I got an email saying it's on the way. Looking forward to thumbing through the hardcopy version, and I'll bring it in when I've received it.. As a substitute, I'll bring in "Godel, Escher, Bach"! I've been trying to wrap my head around it.. there may be a hint of LISPyness in there, perhaps. http://www.lisptoronto.org/ Come on out! Vish

[toronto-lisp] Clojure on Google App Engine
by Vishvajit Singh 11 May '09

http://www.fatvat.co.uk/2009/05/clojure-on-google-app-engine.html I think it was Ian who mentioned at the last meeting that he was interested in trying Clojure on Slicehost. Here's another option.. this appears to be a way to get Clojure running on the Google App Engine. Seems like a fun thing to try, if you want a web application running and don't want to shell out any cash. Vish
