Hey! Listen!!! It's a me Marco

Hello buddies!


I´m Marco Antonio Ríos Gutiérrez (the shy guy with freckles) and I have 21 years old.

What I mostly like up to this point on my university career is networking and as you may be guessing I plan to work at Cisco Systems, although there's still plenty of courses and thing to learn at school so I hope that on this class I'll find another interest for my further professional development (maybe programming will be again, an option).

Actually from this course I expect to regain my strength (if it can be called like that) in programming since, right now, I don't feel confident with my overall level and skills, that't my main goal/expectation for the course.

What I most like to do (like most ISC students) is gaming, love The Legend of Zelda and Pokémon since I have memory; recently I received an Xbox One and also began to do some PC gaming with what my little laptop can support :( so I divide my time among those 3 platforms.

I really like movies, series and music, however when I’m alone I tend to not watch  anything or put something for about 20 minutes to leave it and do something instead (like gaming, as an example I was watching Stranger Things on Netflix and stopped on the 4th chapter even though I'm loving it) however I particularly like horror, comedy, adventure and fantasy genres. On music I can say that i like almost anything (reggaeton and banda/corridos, nope, never, iugh, like poison to me) my favorite genres are Symphonic metal, classical and electronic (quite different genres I must say) but like I said, I hear and like songs from almost any genre and era. Quick note: Don’t ask me for name of songs or bands because I have no idea, I just hear something and I like it but never wonders who’s from or how the song is called jeje

I also like to read however is not an activity that I perform regularly, mostly because of school or something like, but I really enjoy reading and use my imagination to visualize what I read, recently before reading Ready Player One I'm reading the books published by youtuber Dross.

I'm a man of family and although I’m not a man of many words (as probably everybody will notice on this semester) however I like to be with my family, I'm somewhat of a lonely wolf, I enjoy being with me alone, not that I hate being with other people but for me, having time for my self is important.

I think that what I consider relevant for my group to know about me (or at least what I can recall, sorry).

Thanks for your time and have a happy and successful semester.

Rich Hickey on Clojure

Rich Hickey on Clojure Clojure and his ability to easily communicate with Java makes it the perfect contender for best language, being able to simply call Java code con Clojure code and looking that they work without trouble at start is something that is rarely seen but that when it does appear, is like when God decides to touch you with all his greatness. Programmers and enterprises have noticed this, that's why Clojure is one of the most well-paid languages on USA. Inheriting from LISP the investigation-oriented theme makes a language that cannot be managed by anyone but when mastered, it really shows its true potential, sadly this isn't enough for making LISP, Clojure or the functional programming in general a popular thing, although Clojure with its JVM implementation and macros seeks to fight the problems that stopped LISP from getting mainstream. Thanks to functions that Clojure has, it makes it way easier and direct to solve problems and to actually combine or to...

The Roots of Lisp

The Roots of Lisp Lisp as the main root of functional languages has a rather confusing way of working, it is as basic as it can be so to write a function without the need for it to be complex can quite confusing like the eval functions presented on the document. Is funny that on this paper I read about interpreters and on my SW Design and Architecture I also learn about interpreters. I have to thank that newer and improved versions of Lisp have emerged like Clojure that make simple to write functions that are interpreted into all this complex code that was explained just to do something relatively simple. Enough from complaining about, on the bright side, the benefits from having a simple and basic language is that it can be molded to whatever we want from the ground up (basically like how Clojure or any "upgraded" version of any language came to be) and that is why Lisp is still being so functional and useful even today. The simple notation that Lisp uses is what giv...

Pair Programming

Pair Programming It results outstanding to me that the idea of having a pair or a group of programmers working on the same computer is relatively new to the programming world, the phrase of "two heads are better than one" has been existing from a long time ago prior to computation and it is has been proven to work (also it is quite logical), so why pair programming hasn't shine as it's supposed to be? The only thing that disturbs pair programming is the human factor, humans change their mind but at the same time don't, if they have worked all their lives alone and the results have been good the change to a pair programming will be difficult, they'll think that they are superior than their comrade, the suggestions of the last one will be ignored mostly, no help will be asked, making the pair programming more of a hassle than a good programming method. Other thing that involves the human factor is the interaction with others, maybe we can get along with so...
