Functional and Declarative Programming in Education 1999

A one day workshop at PLI 99, 29 September 1999


Goal:

Functional and declarative programming plays an increasingly important role in computing education at all levels. The aim of this workshop is to bring together educators and others who are interested in exchanging ideas on how to use a functional or declarative programming style in the classroom.

Topics:

The workshop is intended to cover a wide spectrum of functional and declarative programming techniques: Furthermore, the workshop will also cover all levels of education:
