[TYPES/announce] FM Tutorial Lecture on THURSDAY, April 28, at 3 pm CET: Prof. Jeremy Gibbons on How to Design Co-Programs

[Luigia Petre]

Dear all,

The FM Tutorial series continues with Prof. Jeremy Gibbons's lecture on
THURSDAY April 28, 2022, at 3 pm CET: His talk is entitled "How to Design Co
−Programs". The abstract of Prof. Gibbons's lecture is here:

The observation that program structure follows data structure is a key lesson
in introductory programming: good hints for possible program designs can be
found by considering the structure of the data concerned. In particular, this
lesson is a core message of the influential textbook “How to Design Programs”
by Felleisen, Findler, Flatt, and Krishnamurthi. However, that book discusses
using only the structure of input data for guiding program design, typically
leading towards structurally recursive programs. We argue that novice
programmers should also be taught to consider the structure of output data,
leading them also towards structurally corecursive programs.

The zoom link is https://aboakademi.zoom.us/j/64254430116. The event will last
about an hour.

Warmly welcome!!

Best wishes,
Luigia
