Learner Reviews & Feedback for Programming Languages, Part B by University of Washington

Very good and useful!

Part B continues where Part A ended. The second programming assignment is really the heart of this Part, it is about implementing a small programming language yourself which gives a completely new view on the theoretical content so far. This is challenging and a lot of fun. If you liked Part A, you definetly need to continue your journey here.

这一部分果然比第一部分难，可是非常有意思。学到了很多有意思的东西。

I took this course about 10 years off the college, and it was excellent refresher on the topics I don't use on a daily basis. Absolutely great lecturer, great videos and study materials!

excellent! vey helpful for ungraduates and programmer! need time to understand truly.

An absolutely high quality class. The instruction is superb, the assignment is on par with top programs at Stanford, MIT, and CMU. Dr. Grossman's lecture is just so clear and energetic that makes learning this hard topic fun.

great course

One of the best course in any MOOC format

Very taxing but very much worth it.

This is a great programming course. The instructor explained the key concepts extremely clear and concise.

I found this course when reading the well-known SICP book (Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs), and I was trying to pick up a scheme dialect, and found that several people suggest racket.

However, the course is actually more interesting than racket itself. It covers lots of functional programming idioms, in a precise and systematic way. Also some concepts where I read in other places informally, such as "thunk", "lazy evaluation", "infinite stream" are explained with great clarity. It also makes reading SICP much easier.

I wish there could be more courses like this in Coursera.

Excellent course. Clear and enlightening lectures. Two solid programming assignments, which help with internalizing the topics covered in the course. The first covers things like closures, implementing laziness with closures, and using local state from closures for memoization. In the second we implement a basic lisp interpreter!

Very good course

this is really a rewarding course!

Highly recommend.

Better than the first one has we get more into the theory which is super useful!:)

Thanks Dan!

the course material was good! but the discussion forum was not so active.

Good

Excellent course material. Homework is a bit esoteric though.

I learned a lot from this course, thank you.

unfortunately all the solutions for the homework are online.
