about this room

Kevlin Henney presents two of Barbara Liskov's foundational papers, Programming with Abstract Data Types (1974) and Abstraction Mechanism in CLU (1977): where data abstraction came from, the context it emerged in, and how it shaped object-oriented and functional language design since.

Papers We Love London reading-group format, hosted at Monzo near Liverpool Street. 18:30 to 20:00, free, RSVP on Meetup.

why go

a rare chance to hear one of the best software speakers in the UK take apart the ideas most of us use daily without knowing where they came from. Best for engineers who like their computing history first-hand.
