I've had the chance to have peter van roy as professor, and i found his courses on programming paradigms the resource that made me progress the most in programming. It is fascinating how advanced concept (eg classes) are built on simple constructs. I also discovered dataflow variables during that course.

Even if you are a programmer, this course could teach you a lot. Very much indicated! And the language Oz is easy to learn, dont be afraid of it!

And if you dont follow the course, at least check the book, it is a gold mine!
