Haskell

In this talk we explain how lazy I/O works, what the problems are, and explore some of the solutions that are being proposed at the moment: iteratees, pipes, stream I/O, etc.

In the talk, Andres will explain all about how datatype-generic programming in GHC works, and I will present several examples of its use, including examples of how it already is successfully being used in some prominent Haskell libraries.

Will this year be when Emacs starts to become a viable application development lisp? Asynchronous servers, web-sockets, web-servers, threads and continuous build systems are all happening. Nic Ferrier, responsible for at least some of this tooling and re-assessment takes us through what will be happening this year in the Emacs world.

Skills Matter is pleased to announce the Fourth Functional Programming eXchange our annual conference on the functional programming paradigm, practices, technologies and ideas.

David Pollak will be delivering another free In The Brain session at Skills Matter!

If you have some experience developing in Haskell, but would like to learn how to unleash the full power of the language, understand the details about lazy evaluation, learn how to write code that is not only robust but also fast, and dive into the details of Haskell's advanced type system - then this course is for you!

This two-day Haskell course gives you the chance to deepen your understanding and master some of Haskell's more advanced concepts.

If you are a developer who wants to learn about functional programming or Haskell in specific, but you have little or no experience with any functional language - then this course is for you!

Skills Matter is proud to announce the first annual Haskell eXchange. While we're working with Neil Mitchel to put together a fantastic programme for you, we can also tell you that Simon Peyton-Jones is confirmed to give a keynote!
