Other material
I teach several courses related to programming languages.
In particular, I use Shriram Krishnamurthi's PLAI book for the first PL course. I have written a couple of add-ons for PLAI:
- PrePLAI: crash course on Scheme and functional programming (in spanish)
- OOPLAI: exploring OOP from scratch using macros
I have also gathered some writing tips over time.
