Teaching Programming with Matthias Felleisen

In this episode I talk with Matthias Felleisen.  We talk his history with Schemes from The Little Lisper, How to Design Programs, to Typed Racket.  We also cover teaching math to middle schoolers with Bootstrap, and using programming to teach problem solving and more. Our Guest, Matthias Felleisen Matthias Felleisen’s home page Announcements On May 2nd and 3rd flatMap(Oslo) is taking place in Oslo, Norway. flatMap(Oslo) is a conference about functional programming, mainly on the JVM. The call for speakers is now open. To find out more visit http://2016.flatmap.no for more information, and make sure to use code GEEKERY when registering to find out more. PolyConf 2016 will be taking place on June 30th – July 2nd.  The Call For Proposals is now open, and will be taking submissions through the 13th of March.  Visit http://polyconf.com/ to keep updated with news as more details become available, and http://eventil.com/events/polyconf-16 to submit your talk proposal. If you have a conference related to functional programming, contact me, and I will be happy to announce it.
