The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

Continuations are a useful concept to master, but their support in programming languages is not necessarily accessible to beginners. We aim to improve the learning experience of continuations, in particular delimited continuations, by finding beginner-friendly designs of continuations support. For this purpose, we develop a pedagogical language Pyret-cont and teach a graduate course focused on continuations. Our experience would provide insights to developers and educators wishing to support and teach continuations.
