"Extracting a Goose from a Klein Bottle"
|
||||
@p*{Racket is the most amazing language that no one's ever heard of. This
|
||||
seemingly harsh assessment is prelude to a discussion on programming
|
||||
language development, innovation, marketing, open source, research,
|
||||
Lisp, and education. While other programming languages have dominated
|
||||
the public discourse, Racket's influence on said languages is
|
||||
undeniable. I'll touch on some of these influences during the course
|
||||
of the talk placing them within the context of just what a language
|
||||
like Racket means within the current, and future software landscapes.}
|
||||
@p*{Fogus is a programming language aesthete with experience in expert
|
||||
systems, logic programming, and distributed simulation. He is a
|
||||
contributor to Clojure, ClojureScript, Datomic, and Transit. Fogus is
|
||||
also the co-author of @em{The Joy of Clojure} and author of
|
||||
@em{Functional JavaScript} and the upcoming release @em{The Art of
|
||||
Chupacabra Husbandry}.})

"Like a Blind Squirrel in a Ferrari"
|

@p*{At RacketCon last year, I talked about Pollen, a web-publishing system
|
||||
I wrote in Racket. This year, I'll recap what I've learned since then
|
||||
about typesetting in Racket, by redesigning Racket's documentation,
|
||||
hacking Scribble, and releasing Pollen. Plus: my two great Racket
|
||||
ambitions.}

"Carry on Making that Racket"
|
||||
@p*{This talk will provide a brief introduction to Racket and Racketeers,
|
||||
a report on recent and current developments, and predictions for the
|
||||
future. Bring your questions, and I'll bring my Magic 8 Ball.}
|
||||
@p*{Matthew Flatt is a professor at the University of Utah and one of the
|
||||
main developers of Racket. He works primarily on Racket's run-time
|
||||
system, compiler, macro system, build system, package system,
|
||||
documentation language, and graphics/GUI libraries.})

"Emacs à la mode DrRacket"
|
||||
@p*{DrRacket is wonderful for both newcomers and Racket pros.
|
||||
Some people do like to use Emacs, especially when working with a wide
|
||||
variety of file types and languages. Racket-mode brings some of the
|
||||
DrRacket approach and experience to Emacs, hopefully giving you the
|
||||
best of both worlds. This talk includes a demonstration and a
|
||||
discussion of the implementation in Racket and Elisp.}
|
||||
@p*{Before becoming obsessed with Racket, Greg Hendershott founded
|
||||
and ran the music software company Cakewalk, and has served as an
|
||||
advisor to technology companies such as Roland and JamHub. Soon after
|
||||
RacketCon he is joining the autumn batch at Hacker School.})

"YouPatch: A Racket-powered startup"
|
||||
@p*{@a[href: "youpatch.com"]{youpatch.com} began as a hack in Racket to
|
||||
save my wife PatchAndi 10 or so hours of effort to turn an image of
|
||||
Groucho Marx into the design for a patchwork quilt, and evolved into
|
||||
a bootstrapped startup aimed at democratising the hitherto elite art
|
||||
of pixel quilt making.
|
||||
|
||||
In this talk I recount the YouPatch story so far, discuss Racket's
|
||||
advantages for exploratory programming, and look at the options that
|
||||
face a creative programmer when (s)he comes up with an original idea.}
|
||||
@p*{Daniel has been programming creatively since his teenage years in
|
||||
the 1980s, starting with Turbo Pascal and Z80 assembly on a 64K CP/M
|
||||
machine, and most recently in Racket. In between he took his PhD in
|
||||
mathematics (specifically computational General Relativity) before
|
||||
crossing into software development and leadership, where he has worked
|
||||
in diverse areas, including: devising algorithms for staff scheduling,
|
||||
software for medical devices, educational software to teach critical
|
||||
thinking, and teaching and coaching Agile approaches to software
|
||||
development and business. Nowadays he divides his professional time
|
||||
between Agile/Lean coaching and more entrepreneurial endeavours,
|
||||
including YouPatch!})

@p*{I'll talk about using Racket features like easy serialization,

threads, and eventspaces to smoothly go from a toy prototype to a
|
||||
playable networked game.}

@p*{David Vanderson has been a professional software developer for 10

years. He stumbled onto Racket a few years back and recently was

inspired by the game Artemis to make a coop game in Racket.})))
