[toronto-lisp] Next meetup dates: September 18th, October 2nd
Just a heads up. Next September meet up is the 18th. October meetup is just two weeks after because we have to shift back into 1st Thursday of the month mode. If you want to present in October, now's the time to say something. Paul T. if you're available for an October presentation on VF/event-driven programming that would be excellent. Or the other two topics that you mentioned here: http://common-lisp.net/pipermail/toronto-lisp/2008-August/000044.html Flip a coin or grab a 3-sided die (is that even possible?) to decide. You said some preparation time was necessary and hopefully this is enough. -Rudolf

OK. Probably the VF talk, since I saw one vote for it go by, and I would now like to leave the stuff that needs preparation until after my late-October trade-show deadline... pt
Hi all, Just got my grubby hands on a copy of "Let over Lambda, 50 years of Lisp" by Doug Hoyte. Looks very promising. The author writes "While 'On Lisp' will show you the different types of macros, this book will show you how to use them." I'll bring it along to the next meet, together with a couple other book aquisitions of late. BC
For those interested, Let Over Lambda was announced on c.l.l. a few months ago: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.lisp/browse_thread/thread/d7ca04795... Since then a few reviews have cropped up, some favorable (http://www.adampetersen.se/reviews/letoverlambda.htm) and some not (http://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/6kc4p/new_book_about_common_lis...). The book is self-published and available via lulu (http://stores.lulu.com/letoverlambda). The author has also made the first 4 chapters available at http://letoverlambda.com/index.cl/toc for your perusal, although a few reviewers have remarked that the book doesn't really shine until after the free chapters.
