University CoursesCProgramming

Introduction

An intro course in the spirit of SICP designed by Professor Matthew Flatt (one of the lead designers of Racket and author of HtDP). Mostly Racket and C, and a bit of Java, with explanations on how high level functional programming concepts relate to the design of OOP programs. Do this one before SICP if SICP is a bit too much...
