Patrick Henry Winston

PatrickHenryWinston is a professor at the MIT AI Lab. You can find his AI Lab home page here: http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/phw/

There are online videos of a short AI course he gave at http://www.aduni.org/courses/ai/

Many students learned LispLanguage from his introductory book, Lisp (ISBN 0201083191 ), commonly referred to as WinstonAndHorn?.

He now has one called On to Java (ISBN 0201725932 ) at http://www.ai.mit.edu/people/phw/OnToJava/ . The code in it looks more like Lisp than any other JavaLanguage code out there. :-)

He has another book called OnToSmalltalk (ISBN 0201498278 ).

Also On to C [CeeLanguage] (ISBN 020158042X ) and On to C++ [CeePlusPlus] (ISBN 0201580438 ). Plus ArtificialIntelligence (ISBN 0201533774 ).

In his spare time, he founded Ascent Technology in Cambridge, Mass. IraCooper can tell you more about it.

Ascent cannot be that great of a company, for they use @#&! Flash on their website. (http://www.ascent.com/ FlashAlert) At least the site is navigable without MacromediaFlash, and you don't have to sit through a Flash splash before landing on the main page.
