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.
