[Matthias Felleisen]

If you're interested in reaching out from programming languages to
the real world, possibly via a day job, this is a good starting point.
Well, it's as good as any. -- Matthias

> Professional instructors from IBM will run a 2-day course on using and
> extending the Eclipse integrated development environment.  Eclipse is a
> free, open-source, extensible platform for developing Java and C 
> programs;
> it is fast becoming the industry standard.  Its architecture permits 
> easy
> integration of new programming tools as plug-ins.  This course will 
> briefly
> introduce the Eclipse tool and its architecture for extensions, then 
> teach
> participants how to write those extensions.  This should be useful for
> faculty, staff, or students who are interested in integrating their
> research tools into an industrial-strength programming environment, 
> getting
> wider use of their tools, or learning about approaches to tool 
> integration.
>
> The agenda appears below.  7 short labs throughout the 2 days will
> reinforce the concepts and permit participants to get hands-on 
> experience.
> The course is free, but only a few more spots are available; if you are
> interested in attending, contact Michael Ernst <mernst at csail.mit.edu>.
