Call for Participation
SUMMER SCHOOL ON APPLIED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Utrecht, the Netherlands, 21-25 August 2017
http://www.afp.school
## ABOUT
The Applied Functional Programming summer school has been running for
almost ten years. We aim to educate aspiring Haskell programmers
beyond the basic material covered by many textbooks.
The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the
theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as:
* lambda calculus;
* monads and monad transformers;
* lazy evaluation;
* generalized algebraic data types;
* type families and type-level programming;
* concurrency and parallelism.
The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs, and a busy
social program.
## LECTURERS
Utrecht staff:
* Johan Jeuring
* Doaitse Swierstra
* Wouter Swierstra
Guest lectures:
* Simon Marlow (Concurrency and parallelism)
* Luite Stegeman (GHCJS)
## PREREQUISITES
We expect students to have a basic familiarity with Haskell
already. You should be able to write recursive functions over
algebraic data types, such as lists and trees. There is a great deal
of material readily available that covers this material. If you’ve
already started learning Haskell and are looking to take your
functional programming skills to the next level, this is the course
for you.
## DATES
Registration deadline: 1 August, 2017
School: 21-25 August
## COSTS
€1700 - Housing and registration
€1500 - Registration only
We offer a €1000 discount for students and staff members affiliated with
a university.
## FURTHER INFORMATION
Further information, including instructions on how to register, is
available on our website:

Hi,
I have a list of lists - a grid [[ ]] of complex numbers and I map a function
over each number in the grid. Each computation on a value at (r, c) is
independent of any and all other calculations. This strikes me as being
something that can be done in parallel by creating , say 4 quadrants and
mapping over each and combining when done, or doing each row in parallel etc.
etc.
So I'm really just asking for advice or pointers on the Haskell libraries etc
that I should start with but I'm not really looking to import an uber-package
that will do most of it for me. I want to learn a little more Haskell by
working from a few concurrency primitives.
Thanks
Mike
