Re: [racket-dev] release 5.3.5
Okay I see. I like the code style and conventions in HtDP, and I have read lots of books about design before I am here. I will try again when HtDP2e totally complete.

HtDP is not about the examples but about [the] design [recipe] and as such truly novel. It isn't about Racket either, otherwise we'd use Racket in the book. As for 'interest', let freshmen judge. I'd prefer HtDP over ROAR any day. Thanks for your interest. On Jun 16, 2013, at 7:28 PM, WarGrey Gyoudmon Ju wrote: Sounds good to buy this book and I will do.

Re: [racket-dev] release 5.3.5
ROAR is something like a second step but we don't assume that you have seen HtDP. HtDP is not about the examples but about [the] design [recipe] and as such truly novel. It isn't about Racket either, otherwise we'd use Racket in the book. As for 'interest', let freshmen judge. I'd prefer HtDP over ROAR any day. Thanks for your interest.
