7:20 About Lisp -or- Lambda, the Ultimate Lecture
presented by Yoni Rabkin
Yoni will first introduce symbolic, conditional and meta
expressions and their recursive definitions with the
λ-notation. Then he will briefly describe how such
expressions might be represented by a computer. He will
introduce the Lisp REPL and use it to explore a number of
basic Lisp paradigms such as closures, functional programming,
and Lisp macros. Finally, we shall look at the past and
present of Lisp as a language.
Yoni Rabkin studied computer science and math and after a
stint testing medical lasers has been a working programmer
for the past 6 years. Yoni has been volunteering at the Free
Software Foundation's GPL Compliance Lab since 2006.
