[lisp-hh] Einladung zum CAPI-Workshop am kommenden Mittwoch

[Jens Teich]

Hallo Lisper in und um Hamburg,

hiermit lade ich jetzt noch einmal offiziell zum CAPI-Workshop ein, um 
alle Daten in einem Mail zu haben.

Was ist CAPI (aus dem CAPI User Guide)

The CAPI (Common Application Programmer's Interface) is a library for 
implementing portable window-based application interfaces. It is a 
conceptually simple, CLOS-based model of interface elements and their 
interaction. It provides a standard set of these elements and their 
behaviors, as well as giving you the opportunity to define elements of 
your own.

The CAPI's model of window-based user interfaces is an abstraction of 
the concepts that are shared between all contemporary window systems, 
such that you do not need to consider the details of a particular 
system. These hidden details are taken care of by a back end library 
written for that system alone.

An advantage of making this abstraction is that each of the 
system-specific libraries can be highly specialized, concentrating on 
getting things right for that particular window system. Furthermore, 
because the implementation libraries and the CAPI model are completely 
separate, libraries can be written for new window systems without 
affecting either the CAPI model or the applications you have written 
with it.

The CAPI currently runs under X Window System with Motif, Microsoft 
Windows and Mac OS X.

Hilfreich ist das Mitbringen eines Laptop mit einer kostenfreien Version 
von Lispworks geladen von http://www.lispworks.com.

Wir werden einen Workshop zum Mitmachen veranstalten, der alle in die 
Lage versetzt, mit CAPI GUI-Anwendungen zu erstellen.


Wer kommen möchte, meldet sich bitte hier auf der Liste kurz, um die 
Planung für Stefan übersichtlicher zu machen.

Es freut sich drauf
