This summer school track introduces attendees to the Racket way of
language-oriented programming and language building.

The table below presents a concise summer school schedule. Most
sessions will consist of a lecture part and a hands-on lab. Our goal is to
lecture for less than 90 minutes and to give you at least 120 minutes of
lab time. The lectures will introduce basic ideas. The labs will provide
you with a chance to get your hands dirty with practical exercises on the
lecture topics.

After a brief motivational overview lecture on Monday morning, the first
four days are dedicated to the corner stones of building languages:
compile-time functions, languages as modules, and typed languages. On
Friday, we will give you a chance to put everything together in an
extended lab exercise.

We will also arrange a session when you will have a chance to ask
questions or just talk to the us about HtDL issues.
