ACCU Conference via YouTube

Overview

This course aims to explore the beauty and complexities of the Scheme programming language, a Lisp dialect from the 1970s. By delving into fundamental concepts like lists, functions, recursion, and advanced features, learners will understand how Lisp has influenced modern languages and improve their coding skills. The course covers topics such as syntax, expressions, flow control, data structures, pairs, list-building, recursion, meta-functions, functions as values, quoting, Duck Typing, lambdas, closures, and metaprogramming. The teaching method involves a mix of theoretical explanations and practical examples. This course is intended for programmers interested in expanding their knowledge of programming languages and enhancing their coding abilities.
