You'll participate in the interactive dialog between the users and vendors about the needs of the Lisp community in the years ahead. It's a valuable opportunity to do more than just program in Lisp--it's a chance to be a part of the Lisp community, to learn, and to contribute to a strong future. The keynote addresses will be: ``Lisp as an Extension Language'' by Richard Stallman, Free Software Foundation ``Perspectives on Lisp'' by John McCarthy, Professor of Computer Science, Stanford University The agenda also features other interesting talks, panels, and paper presentations.

Good Lisp Programming Style A survey of styles and techniques that make code less error prone and more maintainable, both at the individual function level and at the complete system level. Instructor: Kent Pitman (Harlequin) Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of programming concepts. 2. CLOS level I An introduction to the Common Lisp Object System (CLOS), the object-oriented extension to the proposed ANSI Common Lisp standard. Instructor: Lois Wolf (Franz) Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 3. Efficiency and Optimization in Lisp A survey of topics such as profiling, common algorithmic optimizations, consing, declarations and type checking, garbage collection, using C code, arrays and delivery considerations. Some general guidelines will be portable, others will be specific to the major commercial Common Lisp implementations. Instructor: Ken Anderson (BBN) and possibly another party yet to be named. Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 4. Macros and Compiler Macros for Abstraction and Efficiency Common Lisp provides a number of syntactic mechanisms for making code more maintainable and efficient. Learn when and how to use macros, compiler macros, reader macros, and inlined functions to improve your coding style and productivity. Instructor: [still being confirmed] Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 5. CLIM level I How to use the Common Lisp Interface Manager (CLIM) version 2.0 to build interfaces to appllication programs. Use of application frames presentations, menus and dialogs, commands, command tables, interaction styles, and drawing graphics. Instructor: Colin Meldrum (Franz) Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp and CLOS concepts. 6. CLOS level II Complex initializations protocols, customized method combinations, and the various ``meta object'' protocols for CLOS, as well as a survey of existing implementational techniques and their consequences. Instructor: Steve Haflich (Franz) Prerequisite: CLOS level I and/or a good understanding of CLOS and Lisp. 7. Advanced topics in Common Lisp The topics that most beginning courses never get around to: LOOP, FORMAT, conditions and restarts, UNWIND-PROTECT, PRINT-OBJECT and MAKE-LOAD-FORM methods, the pretty printer, and issues relating to implementation and storage representation that influence practical programs. Instructor: Steve Haflich (Franz), and probably another party yet to be named. Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 8. GNU EMACS Lisp Programming The EMACS extension language, EMACS Lisp, which allows users to not only customize the popular EMACS editor, but also allows the development of active documents applications that interact with the user. Instructor: Richard Stallman (Free Software Foundation) Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of programming concepts. 9. Common Lisp and Databases (Relational and Object-Oriented) A survey of concepts, techniques, and tools for working with relational and object-oriented databases from within Common Lisp. Instructor: Jim Veitch (Franz) and and Judy Anderson (Harlequin) Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 10. Hybrid development environments: Getting Lisp, C, and other languages to work together. For example, foreign function interfaces, datatype interchange, external character encodings. Instructor: [still being confirmed] Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Common Lisp concepts. 11. CLIM level II Hardcopy, pointer tracking and manipulation, incremental redisplay, table and graph formatting, drawing in color, the drawing environment, and doing transformations in CLIM version 2.0. Instructor: John Aspinall (Harlequin) and Scott McKay (Harlequin) Prerequisite: CLIM level I and/or a good understanding of CLIM, CLOS and Lisp. 12. Comparing and Contrasting Common Lisp, Scheme, and Dylan An overview of these three languages, with emphasis on where they overlap and how they differ, for programmers who need to move back and forth between them. Instructor: Kent Pitman (Harlequin) and probably another party yet to be named. Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of programming concepts. 13. Advanced Vendor-Specific Tools and Techniques: Helpful hints for people who already use a certain vendor's Lisp regularly and want to improve their use of that vendor's tools and language extensions. Specify Vendor: ____________________ Instructor: [vendor-supplied experts] Prerequisite: User of specified Common Lisp from specified vendor. ****************************** NOTES ****************************** In items 1-13 above, a prerequisite is specified in order to guide potential attendees to courses at their level of expertise.
