Course Sections
Section 1: Scheme Programming Series (Module #1) - The Fundamentals
In this module, you will start with an overview of Scheme in the Introduction to Scheme. You'll learn the basics in two parts, The Basics Part 1 and The Basics Part 2, which will set the stage for understanding more complex concepts. Moving forward, you'll explore Simple Expressions in two parts, focusing on how to create and manipulate basic Scheme expressions.
Next, you'll delve into Evaluating Scheme Expressions in two parts, where you'll gain a deeper understanding of how Scheme processes and evaluates expressions. The module continues with a detailed look at Lambda Expressions, fundamental to Scheme's functional programming paradigm, also covered in two parts.
You'll then explore Top Level Definitions in two parts, learning how to define and use global variables and functions. The module also covers Conditional Expressions, which are crucial for making decisions in your programs.
The module continues with Simple Recursion, split into two parts, where you'll learn the power of recursive functions to solve problems. You'll also study Syntactic Extensions, understanding how to extend the language's syntax.
Finally, you'll dive into the concept of Continuations, an advanced topic split into two parts, and learn about Continuation Passing Style, also in two parts, which is a powerful technique for managing control flow in your programs.
Section 2: Scheme Programming Series (Module #2) - Internal Definitions, Procedures, and Variable Bindings
You'll start with a comprehensive look at Internal Definitions, spread across five lectures, which will teach you how to define variables and functions within a local scope. The module then moves on to Variable References and Lambdas, covered in two parts, where you'll deepen your understanding of variable binding and anonymous functions.
Next, you'll explore Local Bindings and Letrec Expressions in two parts, learning how to create local scopes and recursive bindings. The module also covers Multiple Values and Variable Definitions, teaching you how to handle functions that return multiple values.
You'll then study Assignments, understanding how to modify variable values, and Procedure Applications, spread across several parts, where you'll learn how to apply functions to arguments effectively.
The module continues with Recursion and Iteration, covered in multiple parts, which will enhance your ability to solve iterative problems using recursion. Finally, you'll dive into Mapping and Folding, learning powerful techniques for processing lists, and Continuation Procedures, which will further your understanding of advanced control flow techniques.
Section 3: Scheme Programming Series (Module #3) - Multiple Values, Objects, and Boolean
You'll start with Delayed Evaluation, learning how to delay the evaluation of expressions for efficiency, covered in two parts. Next, you'll explore Multiple Values, spread across three lectures, teaching you how to handle functions that return multiple results.
The module then delves into Quotations and Constants, in two parts, where you'll learn how to work with literal values and constants in Scheme. You'll also study Equivalence and Predicates, spread across several parts, understanding how to compare values and use predicates for decision-making.
Finally, you'll explore Boolean Objects and Pairs, Other Predicates, and various List and Pair Procedures in multiple parts, learning how to manipulate lists and pairs effectively.
Section 4: Scheme Programming Series (Module #4) - Numbers, Bitwise, and Strings
You'll start with Bitwise Procedures, learning how to perform bitwise operations, covered in multiple parts. Next, you'll explore Byte-Vectors, Characters, and various Number Procedures, spread across several lectures, teaching you how to handle different types of numerical and character data.
The module then delves into Inexact Real Numbers, Fixnums, and various Other Real Procedures, enhancing your understanding of numerical computations in Scheme. You'll also study Sine, Cos, and Tan Procedures, learning how to perform trigonometric operations.
Finally, you'll explore Strings and Vectors, covered in multiple parts, learning how to manipulate strings and vectors effectively.
Essential Scheme Practices
This section covers the foundational best practices essential for writing clean, efficient, and readable Scheme code. Topics include coding standards, naming conventions, and documentation techniques. You will learn how to structure your code for maximum clarity and maintainability, ensuring that your projects are not only functional but also easy to understand and modify.
Functional Programming Patterns
Delve into the core of functional programming with Scheme. This section explores fundamental patterns such as higher-order functions, immutability, and recursion. You will gain a deep understanding of how to leverage these patterns to write concise and powerful code, while avoiding common pitfalls associated with state and mutable data.
Advanced Data Structures
Learn about advanced data structures and their implementations in Scheme. This section covers lists, trees, graphs, and hash tables, providing you with the tools to handle complex data manipulation and storage tasks. You will also explore pattern matching techniques that simplify working with these structures.
Metaprogramming and Macros
Unlock the power of metaprogramming in Scheme by mastering macros. This section teaches you how to write and use macros to create code that writes code, enhancing the flexibility and dynamism of your applications. You will learn about macro hygiene, advanced macro patterns, and best practices to ensure your macros are both powerful and safe.
Error Handling and Debugging
Effective error handling and debugging are crucial for building reliable applications. This section covers strategies for managing exceptions, debugging techniques, and best practices for logging and monitoring. You will learn how to anticipate and gracefully handle errors, making your programs more resilient and user-friendly.
Performance Optimization
Explore techniques for optimizing the performance of your Scheme programs. This section covers algorithmic efficiency, memory management, and profiling tools. You will learn how to identify and address performance bottlenecks, ensuring that your applications run smoothly and efficiently.
