"A different kind of PLoP" |
February 25-28, 2002 Carefree, Arizona |
This conference is the fifth annual ChiliPLoP™ , designed to meet the special needs of two groups in the software community, pattern newcomers and pattern experts. Two parallel tracks are offered by the conference with special sessions scheduled for all participants to get together.
TRACK I
For those who are wondering what this patterns stuff is all about, we are offering the ultimate pattern writing experience! Under the guidance of stellar pattern contributors, newcomers will learn about patterns and how to write them. We are also offering an advanced session for those who don't need a patterns tutorial, but want help with writing patterns. For more information or to register for this track, contact the Conference Chair, John Letourneau.
TRACK II
In parallel, ChiliPLoP will feature a "hot topics" track for more experienced patterns folks to gather and tackle hot issues. Participants in this track must choose one hot topic and register with the specific workshop organizer.
February is a wonderful month in Arizona. Daytime highs in Carefree are typically in the 70s F.(21 C.) while nighttime lows are in the low 50s F. (10 C.). The desert is blooming "and the skies are not cloudy all day!"
ChiliPLoP will be held at the Lutheran Retreat Center in Carefree, about an hour northeast of Phoenix, from Monday February 25 through Thursday 28.
