Introduction



My main expectation about the course is actually to challenge myself by learning new things, I have a great hope of learning a lot from this subject which will help me to develop more as a systems engineer and help me to grow as a person and professionally algo, i know that clojure is somehow weird and complicated and i'm thrilled to learn how to use the language efficiently. My hobbies are simple, I always try to enjoy a good reading be it news, a novel or comic, whenever I can take the time to spend with the people I appreciate in my life and enjoy a good talk with them, I always try to be informed of the Important topics of the moment to be able to discuss about it (I love to discuss) and of course that like any other person I always enjoy watchong a good series or movie. Among my favorite movies, series and books are: Gone Girl by Gullian Flynn (Movie and Book) Gran Hotel Budapest (Movie) Raising Hope (Series, widely recommended) Of Love and Other Demons by Gabriel García Marquez Batman vs. Superman (I love superhero movies and even if it's not so good, I'm a fan of Batman) Crazy and Stupid Love (Movie) The Incredible Life of Walter Mitty Etc.

The Promises of Functional Programming

In a certain way this article mentions  some advantages about Lisp and functional programming among them is the capability to produce more code using macros. In this article is said that functional programming permits to write a program using functions, like the mathematical world makes the activity of programming with a functional language a task that involves a different way of thinking differing of how the imperative languages. Functional programming is considered more robust, compact and easily parallelizable and it's fundamental principle is that computation is achieved by composing functions as in the mathematical sense and that always produces the same output given the same input differing from imperative programming. There is also the fact that in functional programming don't exist variables or loops and they are replaced by recursion, but there other facts that involves functional programming and among them is that it makes us to write code faster for certain t...

Triumph of the nerds part 2

This time we will focus on  "Triumph of the Nerds Part II", which talks about IBM  business and shows us the idea of how it decided to get into the personal computer business, and some importants facts as why they chose the MS-DOS first standard operating system on their new PC and the relation of IBM and Microsoft started. In general we saw in this episode of Triumph of the nerds, the IBM riding the bear and Microsoft's huge success and CP/M's failure. The important fact was that IBM needed a software developer for their new PC, having to choices Gary Kildall, creator of CPM  or Bill Gates, who was the president of Microsoft, when going to Microsoft they told them that they didn't have an OS so they focused with  an OS developed by Tim Patterson and of course the relation between Microsoft and IBM was successful and IBM's PC was the best at that moment and  everyone wanted a PC like that. After some time BM market started to drop because of some new co...

Podcast Lisp

I think is interesting because it talks about LISP and also helps us to understand the importance of this language and how we can use it  making new things with potential such as the macros that give us the tool to have programs that create programs, which is an important application and something that I haven´t done before in general and this makes me be more interested of learning all the advantages that this language can offer us to develop other kind of things, and learning a new way on implementation. LISP has an important  characteristic and is that has a metacircular interpreter meaning that it is posible to be a language which evaluates itself, and give us a lot of opntions like the one mentioned, and other laguages don´t give us. Acording to the podcast, Dick Gabriel says that the LISP language is important and it has even been inspiration for another languages like Ruby, and other examples, that show us LISP is an important language in the development of softwa...
