1 4 Days until OOPSLA {anchor:4 Days until OOPSLA} There's only four days left until I head off for {link:OOPSLA 2007|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=home/} in {link:Montreal|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=montreal/}. Here's a list of the things which I'm most excited about attending: * {link:What APL Can Teach the World (and vice versa)|http://www.sigapl.org/apl2007-program.html#a3} * {link:Living it up with a Live Programming Language|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=8} * {link:50 in 50|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=267} * {link:Celebrating 40 Years of Language Evolution: Simula 67 to the Present and Beyond|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=12} * {link:Leveraging Integrated Model-Driven Development and Software Product Line Development Technologies|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=289} * {link:AmbientTalk/2: Object-oriented Event-driven Programming|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=315} * {link:Collaborating with Jazz|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=275} * {link:Context, Perspective and Programs|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=265} * {link:Best Practices for Model-Driven Development|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=72} * {link:Writing Adaptable Software: Mechanisms for Implementing Variabilities in Code and Models|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=94} * {link:WebRB: Evaluating a Visual Domain-Specific Language For Building Relational Web-Applications|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=34} * {link:StreamFlex - High-throughput Stream Programming in Java|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=41} * {link:Can Programming be Liberated from the Two-Level Style? -- Multi-Level Programming with DeepJava|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=sub/&id=36} * {link:Dynamic Languages Symposium|http://www.oopsla.org/oopsla2007/index.php?page=lds} * {link:Montreal Scheme/Lisp User Group Meeting: HOP and ContextL|http://schemeway.dyndns.org/mslug/meeting/24} The last item isn't actually part of OOPSLA, but the {link:MSLUG|http://schemeway.dyndns.org/mslug/mslug-home} people were nice enough to reschedule their monthly meeting to coincide with OOPSLA. The biggest problem with this OOPSLA is that there's just so many great things going on at the same time so that no matter what you attend, there's almost always something else which you would also like to attend but have to miss. They need to videotape everything and then replay the whole day time-shifted in the evening (or sell videos). 2007-10-17 16:05:51.228 2007-10-17 15:47:50.117
