  Best Lectures Ð more details below

In addition to papers, we are requesting best lecture presentations. WhatÕs
your
best lecture topic in an FP related course? Do you have a fun way to
present FP
concepts to novices or perhaps an especially interesting presentation of a
difficult topic? In either case, please consider sharing it. Best lecture
topics
will be selected for presentation based on a short abstract describing the
lecture and its interest to TFPIE attendees. The length of the presentation
should be comparable to that of a paper. On top of the lecture itself,
the presentation can also provide commentary on the lecture.

Submissions
Potential presenters are invited to submit an extended abstract (4-6 pages)
or a
draft paper (up to 16 pages) in EPTCS style. The authors of accepted
presentations will have their preprints and their slides made available on
the
workshop's website. Papers and abstracts can be submitted via easychair at
the
following link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=tfpie2019 After the
workshop, presenters will be invited to submit (a revised version of) their
article for review. The PC will select the best articles that will be
published in the Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer Science
(EPTCS).
Articles rejected for presentation and extended abstracts will not be
formally
reviewed by the PC.

Dates
Submission deadline: May 14th 2019, Anywhere on Earth.
Notification: May 20th

[racket-users] TFPIE 2017

[Marco Morazan]

Dear Colleagues,

My apologies if you receive this more than once on different lists.

Please consider submitting your novel ideas and classroom techniques to TFPIE 
2017. The call for papers is below with detailed information. Keep in mind that 
the deadline for submission is approaching, but only an abstract is required to 
be accepted for presentation. The full review process occurs post-workshop.

I hope to see you at TFPIE 2017.

Best wishes,

Marco


TFPIE 2017

Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017

https://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/sjt/TFPIE2017/


The sixth workshop on Trends in Functional Programming in Education, 2017,
which is to be held on the Canterbury campus of the University of Kent on
Thursday, 22 June, following the 2017 TFP meeting on 19–21 June. TFPIE
workshops have previously been held in St Andrews, Scotland (2012), Provo
Utah, USA (2013), Soesterberg, The Netherlands (2014), and Sophia-Antipolis,
France (2015), College Park, USA (2016).

A particular topic of this year's TFPIE will be MOOCs and other online learning
and, as well as a session on this, we're delighed to announce that Heather 
Miller
of EFPL and Northeastern University will be giving a keynote on this topic.
Heather works on and around the Scala programming language and is Executive
Director of the Scala Center. We'll also have MOOC expertise from the OCaml MOOC
team, Jeremy Singer (Haskell), and Simon Thompson (Erlang).


The goal of TFPIE is to gather researchers, teachers and professionals that 
use, or
are interested in the use of, functional programming in education. TFPIE aims 
to be a
venue where novel ideas, classroom-tested ideas and work-in-progress on the use 
of
functional programming in education are discussed. The one-day workshop will 
foster a
spirit of open discussion by having a review process for publication after the
workshop. The program chair of TFPIE 2017 will screen submissions to ensure 
that all
presentations are within scope and are of interest to participants. After the
workshop, presenters will be invited to submit revised versions of their 
articles for
publication in the journal Electronic Proceedings in Theoretical Computer 
Science
(EPTCS).

[racket-users] Fixing DPC languages?

[Marco Morazan]

Hi All,

Has anyone used the DPC languages in the latest release?

I see that unstable/syntax is deprecated and now use  syntax/transformer
and syntax/location . The class package is installed without reporting
errors. However, when i try to use the class/1 language I get the following
error:

Welcome to DrRacket, version 6.6 [3m].
Language: class/1, with debugging; memory limit: 128 MB.
. ..\..\..\..\..\Program
Files\Racket\collects\racket\private\class-internal.rkt:1867:19: public:
use of a class keyword is not in a class top-level in: public
>

Clicking on the error yields:

Welcome to DrRacket, version 6.6 [3m].
Language: racket/base, with debugging; memory limit: 128 MB.
module: import cycle detected
  module in cycle: #
>

Any insights?

Thanks in advance!

[racket-users] Writing a blank to a file

[Marco Morazan]

Hi All,

I seem to recall I knew how to do this once, but can't recall the details.

How do we write a blank to a text file without the parallel bars appearing?

So, (write '| | outfile) produces | | in the file. I want to eliminate the 
vertical bars.

Thanks,

Marco

Hi All,

Has anyone written up their experiences teaching Generative and Accumulative 
recursion? If so, would you kindly point in the right direction?

Thanks,
