February Denver Area Lisp Users Group Meeting

Saturday, January 31, 2004

In a number of prior postings (here, here and here), I've mentioned the work that Kenny Tilton has been doing with Cells/Cello. Well, the Denver Area Lisp Users Group is starting off 2004 with a bang! We're having our first two meetings of the year next week to discuss and learn about these innovative approaches to CL development (Note: Cells is a CLOS extension that lets you define CLOS slots as if they were cells in a spreadsheet with dynamic updates from dependent cells. Cello is a GUI framework built using Cells). Kenny's a great speaker and it will be really interesting to see and hear what he's been doing.

Here are the details of the two meetings:

Topic: Cells/Cello Overview
Presenter: Kenny Tilton
Meeting Location: Hotel Boulderado Corner Bar (SE corner of the hotel - enter at ground level but we will be at one of the upstairs tables in the bar), 2115 13th Street, Boulder ( Map)
Date: Saturday, February 7, 2004
Time: 6:30pm - 11pm
Description: Kenny will provide an overview of Cells and Cello. If you know nothing about Cells and Cello, this will be a good chance to get a quick intro (from the horse's mouth!). Kenny also runs his own Lisp-based business, so it will be a good chance to hear some of his "war stories" after we've consumed a few beers.
Topic: Cells/Cello Workshop
Presenter: Kenny Tilton
Meeting Location: Meadows Branch of the Boulder Public Library, 4800 Baseline Rd, Boulder (Map) Library Phone: 303-441-4390
Date: Monday, February 9, 2004
Time: 6:30pm - 8:30pm (library closes at 9pm)
Description: This will be a "hands on" session. Download Cells from the Cells ftp area and bring it with you on a laptop to the session. (If you don't have a laptop, don't worry - we'll have a few there and people can share.) Kenny will take us through a few examples of Cells/Cello usage and help people create a few example apps. Should be fun!

If you plan to come, please send me an email as I'd like a rough idea of numbers in order to make sure we have sufficient space for everyone. Mark your calendars - see you there!
