 Subject: [Lisp] Lisp meeting, November 8th 7:00 at Trinity

 Please join us for our next meeting on Tuesday, November 8th (read:
 TOMORROW!) from 7:00 to 9:00 at Trinity Lutheran Church. 

     Joel Spolsky of "Joel on Software" fame will be speaking on
     the next-generation of language design and why Lisp is
     relevant!
     
     Joel's area of expertise while working at Microsoft area was
     "programmability" where he replaced the Excel macro language
     (XLMs) with Excel Basic and provided an object-oriented
     interface to Excel.  Excel Basic thus became "Visual Basic
     for Applications" and it's OO interface became knows as OLE
     Automation, a.k.a. IDispatch.
     
     Joel has been writing about software development,
     management, and business the the CEO of Fog Creek Software
     and author of three books:
     
     *  User Interface Design for Programmers, Apress, 2001
        
     *  Joel on Software: And on Diverse and Occasionally Related
        Matters That Will Prove of Interest to Software Developers,
        Designers, and Managers, and to Those Who, Whether by Good
        Fortune or Ill Luck, Work with Them in Some Capacity,
        Apress, 2004
        
     *  The Best Software Writing I: Selected and Introduced by Joel
        Spolsky, Apress, 2005
