*KISS Session [6:30 PM] LilyPond musical notation with George Bodley

Music history major, George Bodley will demonstrate how to use LilyPond, an
open source music notation and freely downloadable program that runs on many
platforms. Because of Lilypond's high quality output, it is the preferred
notation program of many professional composers, and is even the program of
choice of Macintosh owners. George will show how music manuscript can be
prepared for publication, with the magic of Lilypond, using only a basic text
editor and Lilypond running in a terminal window on the widely used, and
affordable, Linux platform.

Main Topic [7:00 PM] - Objective CAML: Functional Programming for Pragmatists,
with Matt Gushee

CLUE regular and OCaml developer Matt Gushee will discuss the good, the bad,
and the ugly aspects of OCaml, while showing off as much code as you can
handle.

Functional programming has long suffered from a reputation for being overly
theoretical. But today's functional languages have begun breaking down the
barriers, putting advanced language theory to work in practical systems.
Objective CAML (OCaml) is one of the leading functional languages, but it also
supports imperative and object-oriented programming styles.

Should OCaml be your next language?

We hope to see you there!
