About me

Hello everyone.

My name is Tomás Bravo, but I prefer you call me Tommy. I study computer science and this is my ninth semester. But I'll be graduating next semester because the previous one I went to an exchange program. I went to the US, Illinois to be more specific. This was the best experience I've ever had by so far. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from different countries: India, The Netherlands, Bangladesh, Colombia, Honduras, Japan, Russia and other countries.

Talking about this course, Compiler design, at the end of the semester I expect to know everything related with compilers and I be able to create one by my own.

My hobbies: dancing, playing videogames and swimming.

Talking about music, I love electronic and urban music.
Recently I haven't read a book, buy I love watching "Master chef" on the TV. And my favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean.

Technical Overview of the CLR

This article talks about CLI, which is a language that is compared to JVM. I liked very much how it speaks to us in detail about the most important features of this language. First, it tells us about the portability, efficiency and flexibility of this language. He also talks about architecture. One of the concepts I didn't know is assembly which refers to the set of files containing MSIL code and metadata, which serves as the primary unit of a software component in CLI. It also tells us about the types of data it handles, and especially about syntax. It is quite interesting as with the knowledge acquired in the career of system engineering, I can recognize the parts of a code of an unknown language, without knowing exactly their syntax. I think this is because we know the basic concepts of programming and what makes one language different from another is its syntax. The syntax became something strange to me, it is not something very common that I see, but after reading th

Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

We currently have several types of programming, which are adapted to the problems to be solved and the team of developers who will use it. Functional programming is a subject that I have had the opportunity to learn and take courses on this language. In my personal experience, the author of this article was the one who gave me the basics and topics a little more advanced on functional programming, with Clojure being more specific. I also did an international exchange in the United States, where I took a Lisp course, so I knew the concepts I was reading in this article, and it didn't make it difficult for me to understand the content. However, speaking about Ruby, it is a language that I had no knowledge of and that is related in a certain way to Expressions. By the way, I like that in the article they mention and explain this concept very well, it is very clear and besides it contains several examples with code so that the programmers know how it is seen in development.

Making Compiler Design Relevant for Students who will (Most Likely) Never Design a Compiler

Personally, I really liked this article because it talks about the compilation from an introduction and then it talks about more details of this subject. One of the things I liked the most was that they gave some examples about translation. It was interesting because I didn't know what "LaTeX" meant. Besides, these examples were very well represented through Contex-free grammars. During my exchange program in the United States, I had the opportunity to take a subject related to compilers. There I learned the phases of compilation and was able to work in a practical way on the first three. Therefore, at the time of reading the third point of this article, it was easy for me to understand, since I had the concept and definition of the phases. Something I think was missing in this article was to put a little more diagrams. I think it would have been very useful to put a "parse tree" because perhaps some students have not been able to see this type of diagrams, as
