By way of a brief update, here are my current main projects for the new year:
- I’ve invested in and have started working through Peter Van Roy and Seif Haridi’s textbook Concepts, Techniques, and Models of Computer Programming, a.k.a. CTM. As Professor Van Roy explains here, this book “brings the computer science student a comprehensive and up-to-date presentation of all major programming concepts, techniques, and paradigms in a unified framework.”
- I’ve started learning functional programming in Clojure through a combination of Aphyr’s “Clojure from the Ground Up” posts and Chas Emerick, Brian Carper, and Christophe Grand’s book Clojure Programming: Practical Lisp for the Java World.
- As a project to tie in with both my continuing computer science education and Clojure study, I am working on implementing a series of common data structures using Clojure. I will be pushing my work to a GitHub repo as I progress.
