Haskell Programming Fundamentals: Learn Pure Functional Thinking

TheNY Haskell Users Groupis for all programmers either interested in or experienced with the Haskell programming language. We want to build a community of Haskell developers in the New York area that can share knowledge, projects, and experience, and to generally foster and encourage strongly typed functional programming, in all languages, all settings, and all industries. Our events center around talks, but we have also hosted social hours, code workshops, and a hackathon. Regular meetings are on the fourth Wednesday of each month.

New York Haskell Users Group

A Free, Day Long Workshop
You're comfortable coding in Python, C++ or Java, but you've never had time to delve into pure functional programming. In this workshop, you'll start from the ground up with a guided tour of Haskell's basic features. You'll create simple functions in Haskell and build your way to interesting, elegant functional coding solutions. You'll practice using an interactive IDE in which you share code with other participants.
Who should attend: People with little or no experience writing code in Haskell. Attendees should have some experience writing programs in other languages.
What you'll learn: We'll cover Haskell's function syntax, operations on lists, tuples, recursive definitions, data types, classes and instances, functors, applicatives, and monads.
What to bring: A laptop with the Haskell Platform installed. (Visit <A HREF="https://www.haskell.org/platform/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.haskell.org/platform/</A> to download the platform.) And don't forget to bring a charger!
When: Saturday, June 22; 9:00 am to 4:00 pm
Where: Microsoft Reactor, 11 Times Square, New York NY 10036. Please note: To maintain building security, attendees must register for the workshop on this page and also for the free <A HREF="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/new-york-compose-unconference-2019-tickets-60389859696?aff=ebapi" TARGET="_blank">New York :: Compose Unconference 2019</A>.
About the instructor: Dr. Barry Burd is a professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. He's the author of several books and articles, including Java For Dummies and Java Programming for Android Application Developers For Dummies. He often writes Haskell code as a way of avoiding other, more pressing tasks.
