Chicago Python Users Group, October 14

[Ian Bicking]

The Chicago Python User Group, ChiPy, will have its next meeting
on Thursday, October 14, starting at 7pm.  For more information on ChiPy
see http://chipy.org

This month Edward Ream will be giving a presentation on his project, 
Leo: http://webpages.charter.net/edreamleo/front.html


About the Presentation
----------------------

Leo is an outlining editor that creates and displays relationships 
between code and data in a new way; you can't do what Leo does with 
Emacs or any other tool. Leo shows these relationships in an outline 
using noweb, a simple markup language.  Clones are separate parts of an 
outline that represent the same data.  Clones allow you to create 
multiple views of data within a single outline.

Edward's talk will briefly discuss outlines, noweb and clones, and then 
show how these three powerful features can be combined to clarify and 
simplify all aspects of programming: design, coding, testing and unit 
test, maintenance, data management and project management.

Edward K. Ream received a masters degree in computer science from the 
University of Wisconsin, Madison in 1974 and has been programming ever 
since.  He is the author of numerous public domain programs written in 
C. He has been working on Leo for almost 10 years. For the last three 
years he has been programming exclusively in Python using Leo.

There will also be time to chat, and many opportunities to ask
questions.  We encourage people at all levels to attend.
