Dear all, we bring the following announcement to your attention a 2nd time as the registration deadline (may 5) approaches.
thank you, regards, Atze Dijkstra =========== AFP Summerschool 2014 =========== Applied Functional Programming (AFP) Summerschool July 7-18, 2014 Utrecht University, Department of Information and Computing Sciences Utrecht, The Netherlands Summerschool & registration website: http://www.utrechtsummerschool.nl/courses/science/applied-functional-programming-in-haskell AFP website with edition 2013 info : http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/USCS contact : uscs-...@lists.science.uu.nl *** The 2014 edition of the Applied Functional Programming (AFP) Summerschool in Utrecht, Netherlands will be held from 7-18 July 2014. The summerschool teaches Haskell on both beginners and advanced levels via lectures and lab exercises. More info can be found via the references above, included here is an excerpt from the summerschool website: ``Typed functional programming in Haskell allows for the development of compact programs in minimal time and with maximal guarantees about robustness and correctness. The course introduces Haskell as well as its theoretical underpinnings such as typed lambda calculus, and Damas-Milner type inference. There is ample opportunity to put this all in practice during lab sessions. Typed functional programming languages allow for the development of robust, concise programs in a short amount of time. The key advantages are higher-order functions as an abstraction mechanism, and an advanced type system for safety and reusability. This course introduces Haskell, a state-of-the-art functional programming language, together with some of its theoretical background, such as typed lambda calculi, referential transparency, Damas-Milner type inference, type level programming, and functional design patterns. We will combine this with applications of functional programming, concentrating on topics such as language processing, building graphical user interfaces, networking, databases, and programming for the web. The goal of the course is not just to teach the programming language and underlying theory, but also to learn about the Haskell community and to get hands-on experience by doing lab exercises or a Haskell project of your own.'' *** regards, - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Department of Information and Computing Sciences. /|\ Utrecht University, PO Box 80089, 3508 TB Utrecht, Netherlands. / | \ Tel.: +31-30-2534118/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze . /--| \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 .... | Email: a...@uu.nl ............... / |___\ _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list Haskell@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
