Computer vision is one of the strongest drivers of tech innovation today. By teaching a computer to intelligently recognize the objects it encounters, an immense knowledge is gained about the world around us. Join this trailblazing technology; develop your own Go applications for object detection.
The book The Little Schemer explains the Y Combinator, but this is a difficult piece of code to reason about for someone new to functional programming. Fortunately, scheme can be translated quite easily to go, so that we can use a more familiar environment to explore how it works.
Marian earned a dual BS degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (Troy, NY) and MS in Applied Mathematics from Stevens Institute of Technology (Hoboken, NJ).
She has been programming in Go since early 2014. She loves hiking, painting and reading books on theology and philosophy.
Jeremy is a back end developer from Canada. He has been working in go for two years and is definitely not an accomplished functional programmer.
