[Chicago] Fwd: Speaker/Topic change for Thursday's PPoC meeting (was Chris McAvoy presents...)

[Chris McAvoy]

Just a heads up, there's been a change of speakers at the Polyglot  
meeting this Thursday.  I had to bail out.  Still go...just no need to  
bring those "McAvoy Rocks!" banners anymore.

> Here is the description from the SD West web site...

> Is one language and one "paradigm" right for your entire application?
> Probably not. This class shows how combining several well-chosen
> programming languages and modularity paradigms (object-oriented,
> aspect-oriented, functional, etc.) can improve your applications and
> productivity. You're probably already using
> Java/C#/C++/XML/HTML/Javascript, plus SQL, plus ant/maven/make and
> assorted scripts. This class goes to the next level of integration,
> where "components + scripts = applications". That is, designs that
> integrate higher-level "policy" code, written in high-productivity
> languages (Ruby, Python, etc.), with lower-level components, written
> for performance or to bridge to third-party and legacy components
> (C/C++, Java, etc.). We'll discuss classic, prototypical examples like
> Emacs (C plus elisp) and more modern examples that pair Ruby with C
> and Java in various ways. We'll also discuss how growing issues like
> concurrency are driving resurgent interest in functional languages and
> how "cross-cutting concerns" led to aspect-oriented programming.
> Finally, we'll consider whether or not domain-specific languages
> (DSLs) are the "ultimate" scripting language.
>
> And Dean's bio from the SD West web site...
>
> Dean Wampler is a Consultant and Mentor with Object Mentor, Inc.
> (http://www.objectmentor.com), where he provides teaching and
> mentoring services to clients in agile methods, good software design
> principles, Ruby, and Java. Dean is actively involved in the
> Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD) community and he is an
> expert on Ruby, Ruby on Rails, and Enterprise Java. He speaks on these
> and other topics at industry and research conferences worldwide. Dean
> is the author of several open-source projects, including Aquarium, an
> AOP library for Ruby (http://aquarium.rubyforge.org), and Contract4J,
> a design by contract library for Java (http://www.contract4j.org).
> Dean contributed the Systems chapter to Robert Martin's
> recently-published book entitled Clean Code.
