Week Ending February 25, 2014
This week there was no meeting after class. On Feb 25 Eric suggested that each chapter of the textbook should have its own page assigned to it. That could work for the project and it could help us fill in the chapters without being consumed that much over the structure and the form of the final textbook.
 * Notes:

Last time we had the meeting Prof Jonas told us why he has chosen this project for the graduate students. From what I get this project is following the notion of the flip teaching (flipped classroom). And as for the flipped classroom what I learned so far has to do with both programming languages and the searching/finding/organizing of the sources that have the information I need. There is a part of me that is excited with this process but there is a part of me that is struggling to meet the desired (the desired= gaining knowledge on programming languages on a weekly basis). The reason I am struggling is because I have no default source for the information I need (probably that is what I am used to when I’m taking a class) and I cannot put aside the fear that I might just be superficial and therefore do not form a solid ground on the subject. There is one “important thing” that I remember Prof Jonas telling us during the first lecture. I am referring to it as something important because he deliberately makes a link/connection to it during each lecture ever since. The creation of our own language. Now this might be just a misconception of mine but I think that so far the knowledge that we have collected is "building up" towards this goal/achievement of creating our own language. Perhaps that could be the main theme of the textbook through its chapters (more like a story arc).

 * Notes:

We had a meeting after class, it seems the chapter/segments outline is more easy to work with.

I borough one of the books of Prof. Jonas, “Programming languages: concepts and constructs, Ravi Sethi, 2nd edition”. The book is very helpful to me both for the project and my home studying.

During this week Prof. Jonas tweeted us to ask for a GRC poster of the project. This should be one of the topics for our next meeting.
