Hello everyone,

I'm planning a week-long immersive training/retreat to deep-dive into the
foundations of programming and writing complex software.

Structure and interpretation of computer programs (SICP) by Abelson and
Sussman, famously known as the wizard book, is a very influential textbook
with many insights into the nature of computation. Starting with building
abstractions with functions and data, it goes all the way to creating
programming languages with different execution models and compiling them to
register machines .

The Lambda Retreat is a week-long retreat away from the city, with intense
discussions with a small group of people, to study this great work. This
immersive workshop not only covers most of the topics from the book, but
also includes interesting diversions throughout.

By the end of the immersive workshop, you would have solved a bunch of very
challenging problems, built interesting software systems usings different
programming paradigms, implemented a couple of programming languages with
very different semantics and even a compiler to webassembly!

Sounds interesting? Are you up for the challenge?

If this sounds interesting to you, please sign up on the website or contact
me offline.

Thanks,
Anand
