Life, Death, the Universe and Cells

Tuesday, February 10, 2004

Kenny Tilton came out to Colorado to give a couple of sessions on Cells to the Denver Area Lisp Users Group. We had an introductory session on Saturday night where the relative merits of Cells, agents, life, death, the universe (and all that stuff) were debated over a number of beers. Then, on Monday night, Kenny hosted a tutorial workshop where we got to "have a play" with Cells. We worked our way through a number of progressively more sophisticated code samples, built some basic text editing components, and learned how to use the declarative nature of Cells to ensure that different aspects of the sample editor were kept in sync.

Many thanks to Kenny for a couple of very worthwhile and interesting educational sessions.
