IAP 2010 Activity


So You've Always Wanted to Learn Haskell?
Jean Yang, Joseph Near
Mon Jan 25, Tue Jan 26, 03-05:00pm, 34-301

No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Participants requested to attend all sessions (non-series)
Prereq: familiary with functional programming and type systems

Haskell is a statically-typed, purely functional programming language similar to ML (think Scheme with strong types and type inference -- without the parentheses). If you've always wanted to learn Haskell but didn't know how to start or haven't gotten around to it, this is the class to overcome the activation barrier. We will describe how Haskell works, show you how to compile and run your first programs, and give you an idea of programs Haskell is good for writing.
