"A Boost-Inspired Graph Library for Racket"
@p*{The Boost Graph Library (BGL) introduces many novel abstraction
patterns for graph processing. I borrowed many of the BGL's ideas in
implementing a graph library for Racket. This talk will show how the
library turned out to be a nice playground for many of the unique
features in Racket.}
@p*{Stephen is a postdoc and recent PhD graduate at Northeastern
University. In his early years, he worked as an electrical engineer
before deciding that his life needed more abstraction. So he went off
to study programming languages and has been hacking in Racket ever
since.})

"Stumbling around in the dark: failure partially averted"
@p*{Cal Poly includes a 10-week team-based domain-specific course for
incoming freshmen. I teach this course using Racket, in the domain of
Music. The challenge is to allow students with no programming
background to create full-featured music applications using only the
first few sections of HtDP. I report on the successes and failures of
these teams, illustrating the bizarre but creative code patterns that
the students exhibit.}

"Get Bonus! Infinite Functional Entertainment at 60 FPS!"
@p*{Hard real-time embedded systems with tight operating
environments, a.k.a. console video games, are an exciting and
challenging place to program functionally. The Get Bonus project is
an effort to experiment in this space with Racket. This
progress-report presentation will discuss some of our goals and
some of the interesting implementations we've made in Racket.}
