Haskell: A Practical Introduction

The event takes place at the offices of DoubleVerify. They are also sponsoring food and drinks.

Together with the System Programming Ghent group, we are organizing an intro to Haskell. We'll try a more practical approach, starting with a two simple practical problem and solving them using Haskell (a lazy and expressive functional programming language):

1. A (very!) basic ray tracer
2. A simple web service
Through these examples, we will be learning the fundamentals of Haskell, including concepts like pure functions, monads for side effects, and algebraic data types.

Speakers: Koen De Keyser and Hendrik De Vloedt.
