Peter Seibel

ABSTRACT
In the late 1920’s linguists Edward Sapir and Benjamin Whorf hypothesized that the thoughts we can think are largely determined by the language we speak. In his essay “Beating the Averages” Paul Graham echoed this notion and invented a hypothetical language, Blub, to explain why it is so hard for programmers to appreciate programming language features that aren’t present in their own favorite language. Does the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis hold for computer languages? Can you be a great software architect if you only speak Blub? Doesn’t Turing equivalence imply that language choice is just another implementation detail? Yes, no, and no says Peter…Duration : 1:12:9

What if a debugger could allow you to simply step BACKWARDS? Instead of all that hassle with guessing where to put breakpoints and the fear of typing “continue” one too…Duration : 0:51:22

this is a demonstration of the backtracking method of solving the n-queens problem, written in scheme (a dialect of lisp)

it demonstrates how the algorithm plays out. find more about backtracking, n-queens and scheme at wikipedia

Daniel M. Reeves

Daniel Reeves recently completed his PhD in Computer Science at the University of Michigan as a student of Michael Wellman and is now (temporarily) a lecturer at Michigan, teaching Knowledge-Based Systems (Lisp, Prolog, and Mathematica for AI Programming). His most active area of research is the application of game-theoretic and computational techniques to strategic behavior in games, particularly for eCommerce-inspired market mechanisms. He is one of the creators of and top competitors in the international Trading Agent Competition. Dr Reeves is also one of the top ultra-marathon inline skaters in the US and climbs stairs…Duration : 0:51:38

Hal Abelson gives an introduction to the “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs” lecture with an explanation of Declarative and Imperative programming.

Excerpted and adapted from Hal Abelson, “Introductory Undergraduate Subjects in Computer Science”:-

6.001 differs from typical introductory computer science subjects in using Scheme (a block-structured dialect of Lisp) rather than Pascal as its programming vehicle. The subject’s developers feel strongly that Pascal is hopelessly constraining, and that important ideas (such as functional programming and object-oriented programming) can be addressed within Pascal only awkwardly, if at all. In addition, they consider top-down hierarchical design, so often emphasized as a central theme in computer programming subjects, to be a minor and relatively simplistic strategy in the programmer’s arsenal for attacking complex problems.
