BOB 2019

Speakers

1. Aaron W. Hsu

   I’m a passionate computing artist with over a decade of experience in Scheme before I began to explore the wider application of array languages to HCI/d, parallel programming, human/computer performance, and human to human communication.
2. 

   Chris Ford

   Chris began to make music with code to compensate for his poor piano technique. It was only later that he realised that programming offers deep insight into musical structures.

    Matthias Heinzel

    Matthias started programming with C on microcontrollers, but during his computer engineering degree fell under the spell of immutability, purity and principled abstraction. Since then, he has been interested in both hardware, functional programming and what happens at their intersection.
