.

*WHAT*: A hands-on introduction the the Common Lisp programming language.

*Tentative Schedule *(presentations will be 30-60 min)* *

   - Setting up a Lisp Environment (John Quigley): A hands-on walkthrough
   of how to setup a Lisp environment, Emacs, and SLIME. There will be
   documentation beforehand about steps to take and which packages to get.
   - Lisp Basics and Idioms (Peter Christensen): Lisp syntax, contructs,
   basic code, idioms and practices.
   - Common Lisp condition system (need a volunteer)
   - Macros (Craig Luddington): How Lisp lets you write code that writes
   code that writes code … and why you'd want to do that.
   - Demos of cool things in Lisp (need volunteers): showing off both
   neat and practical things that Lisp can do.

We're looking for volunteers to do the following:

   - Present on the CL condition system
   - Suggest and present on other aspects of CL not listed here that
   would be suitable for an introductory session
   - Walk around and help troubleshoot during the first session about
   setting up your environment.

If you're interested in attending or helping, please email
me<http://www.pchristensen.com/blog/contact-me>and include "Intro to
Lisp Workshop" at the start of the message.
