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.
