[arch-general] [Classroom] Introduction to Scheme and Functional Programming - 5th Sept.
Hello, There will be a class taught by nisstyre called "Introduction to Scheme and Functional Programming". It will be on Friday, September 5th at 8pm UTC (4pm EDT, 9am NZDT) in #archlinux-classroom on the freenode network. The class is expected to run for 1-2 hours. Learn the basics of Scheme and how to write practical, useful functional code, while having fun! Both beginners and advanced practitioners are welcome to attend. There are no prerequisites but it helps to have some basic programming knowledge - like variables, conditionals, looping, and an idea of what a function is. Nisstyre is a long time user of Arch Linux (approx. 6 years). He is a programmer who previously worked in a startup. Currently he is a student doing academic research. He likes free software and privacy. His GitHub can be found at https://github.com/nisstyre56. He is a member of http://wg.oftn.org/.
Logs for the class "Introduction to Scheme and Functional Programming" are up at: https://archwomen.org/media/project_classroom/classlogs/2014-09-05-introduct... Regards, fsckd

To All, I look forwards to the next scheme classroom; although PLT Racket really isn't pure scheme but rather an evolved dialect. I have experience in PLT Racket (I've actually written a form of the Set-Game with GUI as a hobby) and I'd love to help out on the next classroom. I think we'd need to touch base on how functional languages (like Haskell and PLT Racket) really differ from ALGOL derivaties. In addition, I think threading (places can be explained, but futures are pretty advanced) should be discussed since any complex program would often feature more than one thread.
