Newk script: Code katas to learn programming

Hosted by Reynaldo Cordero

Summary

Are you interested in a serendipitous Haskell programming learning method on your computer with 1700+ katas ready to train? Newk is a Bash script using a 100% free software environment that takes advantage of serendipity, the same way you learn to speak in childhood. No formal (or informal) classes: you are simply exposed to spoken information of any kind and at any level in real contexts, where everything is new, surprising, and true. Did you learn to speak? You will learn to program!

This talk was presented at LibrePlanet.

libreplanet.org

LibrePlanet is the Free Software Foundation's annual conference. The FSF campaigns for free/libre software, meaning it respects users' freedom and community. We believe that users are entitled to this; all software should be free.

We do not advocate "open source".

That term was coined to reject our views. It refers to similar practices, but usually presented solely as advantageous, without talking of right and wrong.

gnu.org/not-open-source

Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 by announcing development of the free operating system, GNU. By 1992, GNU was nearly operational; one major essential component was lacking, the kernel.

gnu.org/gnu-begin

In 1992, Torvalds freed the kernel Linux, which filled the last gap in GNU. Since then, the combined GNU/Linux system has run in millions of computers. Nowadays you can buy a new computer with a totally free GNU/Linux system preinstalled.

gnu.org/gnu-and-linux

The views of the speaker may not represent the Free Software Foundation. The Foundation supports the free software cause and freedom to share, and basic freedoms in the digital domain, but has no position on other political issues.
