Hey Vancouver Lispers,
Come on out to the first lispvan meeting! Just two blocks south of
Commercial and Broadway, steps from the skytrain.
Vancouver Lisp Users Group meeting for July
Well, this is to announce the inaugural meeting of "lispvan", the
Vancouver Lisp Users Group. A summary of meetings will be posted on the
lispvan page which is accessible from the Local Lisp User Groups page of
the *hyper-cliki* [1]. Meeting announcements will also be posted to
comp.lang.lisp, comp.lang.scheme, and Bill Clementson's weblog[2].
Here's what's happening for meeting #1:
Topic: Lisp-on-Lines
Presenter: Drew Crampsie
Date: Thursday, July 21, 2005
Time: 7pm - 10pm (or whenever)
Venue: Tobys Pub and Grill
(Commercial Dr. at 12th, see *hyper-cliki* for map.)
Summary: Drew Crampsie will give a demo of his Lisp-on-Lines web
application framework. It is built on top of CLSQL and UCW (two popular
CL packages for relational database connectivity and web application
development respectively) and provides an application development model
similar in many ways to Ruby on Rails.
In addition to Drew's presentation, the meeting will be a general
"getting-to-know-you" session with brainstorming about potential future
meeting topics. Undoubtedly, a pint or two of beer will also be consumed
in the process. ;-)
Mark your calendars and we'll see you this Thursday!
