So recently I wanted to do a clean installation of my Arch Linux, which I did. This took a couple of hours after which I could get a running Desktop environment. The moment I had a basic usable system, I ran a global update of all the installed packages.
This crash course on Scheme that I’m writing is the kind of course that I would have liked before starting to read SICP. This crash course is geared towards people who are already familiar with some programming language and want to start with SICP but are not really comfortable Scheme or any LISP for that matter.
Almost over a year back I started reading the long-awaited book from my bucket list, “Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs”. When I was reading the book, quite a lot of the things in the book were already known to me and therefore it started to get boring. But then I searched on the internet why so many people read the book SICP. The problem was not the reason behind reading the book but the problem was the approach towards the book. The book is not designed to be just read as if it is a novel but you also need to solve the problems in the book.
Completely unexpected of what is there, I registered for Coderetreat that’s held at Nelkinda which was on 16th of July 2016. Facilitated by Siddhesh Nikude and Shweta Sadawarte it was a long but a really nice event. More than anything else I got to learn a lot from that event and I will write some of my experience here.
After a couple of years after writing android apps, I chose to write an android app again. I had used Android Studio before but never tired serious android development after the very first time I tried it in Eclipse (the old times when there was not android studio).
