[ANNC] Dylan Course in Northern VA, USA next week

Hello all,

This is a reminder that a course on Dylan begins next week at the
Northern Virginia Community College.  As a student, you will receive a
CD-ROM of Functional Developer 2.0 with all the library packs.  You
must bring /Dylan Programming/ by Fernberg, et al (which you may
purchase at discount from
http://www.functionalobjects.com/products/books.phtml).

The course is 5 sessions of 4 hours each over a 5 week period.  The
theme is functional object-oriented programming presented using
homework, in-class labs, and lecture.  See
http://www.nv.cc.va.us/annandale/continuing/comp/spring-
misc.html#newooprog for more information and call 703.323.3053 to
register (tell Martha you read the newsgroup post from Doug Auclair).

Object-oriented programming solved some major difficulties not
addressed by structured/procedural programming.  But now the industry
is beginning to recognize a need for functional programming to solve
difficulties not addressed by traditional (single-dispatch/imperative)
object-oriented languages.  This Dylan course will arm you with skills
to identify and a powerful, integrated tool (Functional Developer trial
edition) to meet this new need in industry.

Douglas M. Auclair,
Instructor, NVCC
