Hi, I just wanted to mention that I studied my MsC. degree at Utrecht University and Prof. Swiestra was my thesis supervisor. I cannot recommend this summer school enough. Not only are Prof. Swiestra's accomplishments extraordinary (you can look that up online) but he is also very gifted at teaching. I took many courses with him and were both interesting and entertaining. Prof. Swiestra is also very patient and dedicated and I am sure he will put a lot of care making sure his students thoroughly understand the topics and ensuring the summer school is well organized and structured. All other professors I had in Utrecht were excellent at teaching so I believe this is a great opportunity to "shift up gears" in the wonderful Haskell language.
