Fluent API: Practice and Theory
Fluent APIs emerge from a funky and popular design technique. We learn what they are, how they benefit programmers, and how to create them.
Functional Algorithm Design, Part 2
Sometimes functions are not enough.
Functional Algorithm Design, Part 1
Calculating a greedy algorithm for an optimization problem, functionally.
Functional Algorithm Design, Part 0
Why reason *about* algorithms, when you can reason *with* them?
Homoiconicity, Lisp, and Program Synthesis
Working through a programming exercise, we see that Lisp’s “Code is data” philosophy is a natural enabler for program synthesis.
From Programs to Deep Models – Part 2
The wealth of code now available on-line is fertile ground to enable machine learning to be applied to programming tasks. This post is the second in a series on this topic, focusing on the tasks of semantically labeling and captioning code.
