Intro to Haskell, Part 2

The second meeting focusing on common Haskell libraries and tools, aimed at beginners.

Monadic Adventures

We'll go over the implementation of an embedded text adventure game DSL. Jeff will go over a basic implementation and its use of recursion and lazy evaluation. If there is time, he will also present a concurrent implementation using STM. Phil will talk about refactoring the code using the mtl library of monad transformers and some other abstractions.

Parking and Directions

We're in the Gateway West building, next to the Westfield Century City mall. It's the only building with big red "Westfield" signs on top.

We don't recommend parking in our building, as it is quite expensive. The best place for attendees to park is at the Westfield Century City Mall. Please note that they no longer offer free parking for the first 3 hours. Parking rates are as follows:

0 to 3 hours: $1.00 per hour
3 to 5 hours: $1.00 every 15 minutes
5 hours or more: $24.00
Daily maximum: $24.0
