There is a book called The Pragmatic Programmer by Andrew Hunt and Dave Thomas. One of the things they advise is learning a new programming language each year. Some people are trying to formalise the process. I have suggested that people use the contest to mark the beginning of the Loty ( *L*anguage *o*f *t*he *y*ear ) year. That way you take last year's contest as a project to learn the language and at the end of year the contest acts as a final exam. The language I decided to on this year is OCaml. So do you know if these three are going to release their source code? Also will they write up their project? ------------------- To unsubscribe, mail caml-list-request@inria.fr Archives: http://caml.inria.fr Bug reports: http://caml.inria.fr/bin/caml-bugs FAQ: http://caml.inria.fr/FAQ/ Beginner's list: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/ocaml_beginners
