Yup, that'd be the one. I left off his first name...yikes. He really looms
that large that he could really just go by one name, like Madonna, Beck,
Sting... :) 

I've seen him speak before at DJUG...if you have the vaguest interest at all
in software development, it'd be worth it. He was a very good speaker, and
as introduced by the DJUG prez, the closest thing that the software world
has to a rock star. 




Speaking of people who cast large shadows in software, someone told me this
week that Vlissides died recently - he's one of the Gang of Four.

It is practically impossible to teach good programming style to students that 
have had prior exposure to BASIC: as potential programmers they are mentally 
mutilated beyond hope of regeneration.
