Hello everyone, I'm planning a week-long immersive training/retreat to deep-dive into the foundations of programming and writing complex software.
Structure and interpretation of computer programs (SICP) by Abelson and Sussman, famously known as the wizard book, is a very influential textbook with many insights into the nature of computation. Starting with building abstractions with functions and data, it goes all the way to creating programming languages with different execution models and compiling them to register machines . The Lambda Retreat is a week-long retreat away from the city, with intense discussions with a small group of people, to study this great work. This immersive workshop not only covers most of the topics from the book, but also includes interesting diversions throughout. By the end of the immersive workshop, you would have solved a bunch of very challenging problems, built interesting software systems usings different programming paradigms, implemented a couple of programming languages with very different semantics and even a compiler to webassembly! Sounds interesting? Are you up for the challenge? https://anandology.com/lambda-retreat/ If this sounds interesting to you, please sign up on the website or contact me offline. Thanks, Anand _______________________________________________ BangPypers mailing list BangPypers@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/bangpypers
