I did not know that!
Oh… just noticed the certificate doesn’t mention this - it’s a Racket Discourse thing :)
Which one?
it is not specific to racket. it is a discourse onbording thing.
The Racket logo would imply otherwise :)
…but I understand what you’re saying.
It’s all a bit silly - but I thought it was effective despite the sillyness
Starting Forth
It comes complete with a couple pages of dot matrix printed errata folded up and stuck between the pages in the back.
I wonder if that increases the collector value? (Is there a collector value?)
Old computer books. I think yes.
AbeBooks says it’s $20. I suppose I’ll keep the book and my day job.
One of the forth books was crazy price when I went looking
I have a copy of Etudes for Programmers
I have the sequel . But sadly no printouts
there is a #lang forth
Though, looks like it’s pretty minimal? For example, from the docs it looms like #lang forth’s : doesn’t include support for meta programming; it just composes words?
I have fond memories of Forth. :slightly_smiling_face:
“Starting Forth” is also online at https://www.forth.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/Starting-FORTH.pdf . I don’t know if any newer editions exist.
I found “Thinking Forth”, also by Leo Brodie, very interesting. This was my first book about software design. https://netcologne.dl.sourceforge.net/project/thinking-forth/reprint/rel-1.0/thinking-forth.pdf
