As in the last few years, there will be Macintosh developers meetings at Stanford University this year also. This is an informal group of programmers that meets roughly twice a month, depending on what speakers we have. Our speakers are typically developers who have recently written an application, or people from Apple (or other companies) who have something new for the developerUs community. The discussions are unrestrainedly technical. Because of when MacExpo falls this month, our first meeting will be on Wednesday, January 18^th, at 7pm when David Neal of Symantic (formerly Think Technologies) will speak about the ^new^ LightSpeed Pascal, version 2 debugger. David is part of the group from Boston that wrote version 2 of Lightspeed Pascal. It's new symbolic debugger is totally awesome by any development environmentUs standards. Maybe some others from the group will also be at the meeting. This year I plan to have meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays (not Thursdays) of the month. When Stanford is not in session many people leave, so we donUt meet. Meetings are in the courseware lab in the basement of Sweet Hall. This is a new building that faces on Ceras and Meyer, the undergraduate library. It is at the end of Escondido Road. Meetings are free of charge and open to anyone with a serious interest in programming. In February I hope to have someone from the hyperCard team and from AdobeUs Display Postscript project come and speak. Also, the folks from Mountain Lake Software have a C object class library called "Class C" to present. I am open to suggestions about future speakers. Some possible topics are the Apple Fax modem, (in fact the engineers of any Apple product usually have alot interesting they can say once their product is released), the "cT" language and the WriteNow team.
