Practical Haskell

Presented by Brian Sammon.

Description (for determining interest):
It can take a long time to know all, or even most, of Haskell.
But you can write useful programs in Haskell while only knowing a small
portion of the language.
If you're tired of doing exercises and tutorials, and getting to writing
useful programs ASAP is the best way to keep your Haskell motivation up, this
workshop will try to help you get there.

Preparation guide:
Bring a laptop/computer with GHC installed.
Bring an idea for a smallish program you'd like to write in haskell, or a (smallish) program written in another language that you'd like to convert to haskell, or a (smallish) program you've tried to write in haskell and have had problems.
Also, if you'd like me to work through (or help you work through) your problem on the projector, that's a possibility as well.
As an idea of the types of programs you might want to write, most of the
first few programs that I wrote in haskell would read information from a file or from a website, derive some information from that, and write the new information to another file.
There should be some useful stuff on http://br1an.fastmail.fm/haskell/ soon.
