I’ll be heading up to the OOPSLA conference next week (I’ll be there all day Tuesday and Wednesday). It’s in one of my favorite cities in the world, Portland; and it’s a chance for me to brush up on the software realm as my book nears publication.
OOPSLA stands for “object-oriented programming, systems, languages and applications”; it’s a venerable conference dating back about 20 years, and it serves as something of an epicenter for the more visionary or radical tradition in the software development world.
I attended OOPSLA two years ago, and it was one of the highlights of my book research — with presentations from all sorts of interesting people, including Alan Kay, Jaron Lanier, Ward Cunningham and Richard Gabriel. This year’s speakers include Brenda Laurel and Charles Simonyi.
If you’re at the conference and want to chat, leave a comment here or drop me an email.
