Haskell is a powerful and well-designed functional programming language designed to work with complex data. Its emphasis on "purity" makes it easier to create rock-solid applications which stay maintainable and error-free even as they grow in scale. This course will begin with the fundamentals and building blocks of Haskell programming language with special emphasis on functional programming. It will cover how Haskell variables, syntax, datatypes, and functions work. Participants will learn how to solve programming problems while creating an application with hands-on experience. They will then move on to writing expressions and high-order functions. At the end of the course, they will be able to build a complete application with Haskell along with learning the important functionalities.
The instructor, Hakim Cassimally, learned the basics of Lisp 15 years ago and has been interested in functional programming ever since. After Audrey Tang developed the first prototype of Perl6 in Haskell (Pugs), he got seriously interested in Haskell and has written, spoken, and evangelised about learning and writing Haskell since 2006. Even when developing in other functional languages such as XQuery or traditional scripting languages such as Perl or Python, lessons learned from Haskell inform his approach and prototypes—whether it’s training software for a start-up, just-in-time sequencing systems for a car manufacturer, or data imports for a national media corporation. His latest personal Haskell project is a Cryptic Crossword solver.
