RacketCon 2012

Plans for (second RacketCon)

We're planning on holding the second iteration of RacketCon at Northeastern in Boston this fall. This will be a one-day event, featuring both short talks and tutorials. To choose a date that works for the most people, we need your feedback. Here is a quick poll on which dates (all Saturdays) you would be interested in attending RacketCon.

The Agenda

This year, RacketCon will feature 3 2-hour tutorial sessions, as well as a series of short talks about development in and of Racket over the last year.

Potential tutorial sessions include:

  • Building a new domain-specific language using syntactic extension
  • Using contracts in application development
  • Adding types to an existing application with Typed Racket
  • Parallelizing Racket applications with futures and places

Potential talks include:

  • submodules
  • WhaleSong
  • futures and visualization
  • distributed places
  • optimization coaching
  • Dracula and ACL2
  • PLT Redex

If you would be interested in giving a 10 minute talk at RacketCon on something you've built in or for Racket, please email the organizers.
