Lecture 20 | Programming Paradigms (Stanford)

[youkmichelsentube]

This is a wonderful lecture series, thanks Professor Cain! Rather than getting stuck in one way of thinking about programming (procedural, functional...) it allows students to expand their programming horizon, with great transparent explanations/examples. A must see for any budding programmer. km

48:47 what's with the "c"?

lol

[wackyman]

he's missing a parenthesis at 3:21 - one closes the sum-list, one closes the sum, one closes the if, one closes the define. he forgot to close the sum-list. :)

@wackyman not really he said it goes like this :  ( null ? num-list

[glub0t]

@wackyman

agree. and the definition should be

(define (sum-list num-list)

it hard to change paradigm instantly

How can one man know all of this I'd get may pass but is it okay to call teach if I get into trouble? Will I have to know Japaneese because there are no jobs here in America and last time I checked Sony was in Japan. Game from PS and XBox, Japan. Do all these students realize that or will they be working for Dad? All I see is Fax resume to tech jobs, I looked! They don't want new techs fresh out of school either, They want people like the teacher. Im trying to get in but IDK anyone, do you?

@silverpizza100 for a case like this.. where there is no one hiring... start your own company :p
