Final Functional Fall Meeting is tonight: The original LISP Paper! |
Hi all, We have one final Functional Fall reading circle for the season and we will be reading a classic: John McCarthy's "Recursive Functions of Symbolic Expressions and Their Computation by Machine, Part I" (http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/recursive.pdf), which is the paper that introduced LISP to the world. The meeting is tonight at 6:30pm at the Comcast Center, Room 45F. John McCarthy dies on Oct. 24, 2011, so this one goes out to him, one of the luminaries of Computer Science. Let's read his original paper and remember his contributions to our industry. As always pizza and soda will be provided by Comcast Interactive Media. And beer afterwards at Nodding Head. See you there. Yours, Trevor -- Trevor Lalish-Menagh trev@trevmex.com 484.868.6150 (mobile) trevmex (AIM)
