Who am I?

My name is Daniel Gildardo Guerrero Guzmán, i am 20 years old and currently coursing my seventh semester here at the ITESM.

Expectations about the course:
I hope my knowledge and skills in programming improve with what we are going to learn in this class, i also hope that my interest in programming increases and although i don't know what are the things we will be learning later in the course, I'm more than happy accepting the red pill.

Hobbies? 
I usually enjoy spending my free time playing video games and watching TV series, in the case of video games i mainly enjoy Overwatch and WOW by Blizzard and League of Legends by Riot Games. In the case of the series i enjoy watching,  Game of Thrones has to be one of the series i enjoy the most, I'm awaiting the new season of Mr. Robot and I'm a big fan of the series related to heroes like Flash, Legends of Tomorrow, Jessica Jones and basically any series related to DC or Marvel because of my love to comic books.

Finally talking about books, I'm a great fan of the writer Stephen King, so I look forward to the new adaptation of his famous book "IT" and I am currently reading the saga of Rick Riordan, "The Heroes of Olympus".

Opinion on "Dick Gabriel on Lisp"

Just as a quick comment before starting talking about the podcast i really enjoyed the song that was played at the end of the podcast i may not be a fan of Lisp at the moment because Clojure is a new language to me and a whole new form of programming, as Lisp is a functional language, and i have always worked with Object Oriented languages like C++ or Java but the song in some way makes you like Lisp a little bit more as it says "God wrote in Lisp" i find it very funny as everywhere i look they tell us Lisp is a very powerful language. Addressing the podcast the first thing that really sparked my interest is the important role Lisp has played in artificial intelligence because i didn't knew that it was the main language used to research and develop in this area and i think is an area that really needs to keep developing even though as today it is the center of many discussions and debates as we can see an example with Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg. Also i really ...

Rich Hickey on Clojure

Well, first of all its fun to hear another podcast from the same show as we did when we were hearing dick Gabriel on Lisp, then we were hearing from an expert we could say on the topic (Lisp), but now we are hearing about the language, in this case Clojure, from the own creator of the language which makes things a little bit more interesting in my opinion. Some things talked about in the podcast we have learned through the course but hearing why it works that way and the thought put behind that as to why make the language work that way is what made the podcast really interesting. One think I really liked is the realization which I really didn’t paid attention, although is obvious, until listening to this podcast, is that we have the power of Java thanks to the java virtual machine without the language being java itself, but we also have the power of Lisp as Clojure is a dialect of lisp and in my opinion that makes Clojure a really powerful language and also a very simple one ...

Language as the Ultimate Weapon and my review of 1984

Ok I am going to talk about George Orwell novel 1984 and because of that if you haven’t read it I don’t know what are you doing wasting your time, that is a book everyone should read and I feel bad for not doing it earlier and having to wait for someone to force me to do it, thanks professor Ariel. Well 1984 it’s a dense book in my opinion because it really makes you think on the world it shows you and how it would be if our world was like that or if we were in an scenario as the novel shows us. The point of the psychological control based on the vocabulary as the novel shows us and as it is remarked in the article “ Language as the ultimate weapon ” it’s scary, really scary because you see it on the book and you think, if that happened in real life would I be able to tell the difference and oppose to it or would it be so subtle I would begin to embrace without even paying attention and when the article makes the comparison to politics and how they do something in that area that...
