Bucharest FP #48 — Haskell Book Study Group 09

Hello again! This meetup will still be on Monday at the University, at room 215 (second floor, on the left, after the Google room). If there is a problem (like last time), I will make sure to post here and leave a note at room 215.

Please remember to read up and do all the exercises in the next two chapters: Chapter 16 - Functors. Please remember to try and find counter-examples for Functors.

It is increasingly important to DO ALL THE EXERCISES. Please let me know if you get stuck on anything. Please join slack on #bucharest and feel free to ask questions either there or on #haskell-beginners (get an invite at https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/ )

This meetup is for self-motivated people that will:

• purchase the book
• read the agreed-upon chapters in advance
• write all the code and try it out for themselves
• attempt to do all of the exercises
• participate in the group by asking questions and offering solutions

This meetup series will not:

• teach you Haskell; that's your responsibility
• show what Haskell is good for or otherwise convince you of any advantages or disadvantages that Haskell, FP, etc. might have; we are here to learn, not to wage language wars
• go out of topic for the current chapters (don't ask what a Monad is when we're talking about recursion)

Attending check list:

• RSVP to this event
• purchase the book ( http://haskellbook.com/ )
• read and completed all exercises in chapters 1-15
• join FP Slack (get an invite at https://fpchat-invite.herokuapp.com/ and join the #bucharest channel)
• install Stack ( https://docs.haskellstack.org/en/stable/README/ ) and make sure it works ( https://github.com/bucharestfp/haskell-study-startup/blob/master/resources/haskell-stack-notes.md ) -- feel free to ask on Slack if you get stuck
