Hi,

I've bought EOPL3 and am finally getting around to working my way
through it, as an exercise to learn Scheme and more about languages in
general. I was intending to keep any code that I write in a public
repository, but given that some academic institutions teach courses
based on the book, would making any solutions (regardless of the
quality!) available in that fashion be frowned upon?

Cheers,

James

Just pointing out a related series, which got me thinking on the best
way to go through books like this with a view to learning.

Hi James,

Thanks for the note.  In answer to your original question, I think instructors of courses based on eopl3 would be unhappy if answers to the exercises were posted.  It's hard enough to deal with plagiarism without canned solutions being publicly available.

Hi Mitchell,

No problem. Glad I checked first, and looking forward to working
through more of the book.

Cheers,

James
