Chris Allen: A Haskell Guide for Working Stiffs - λC Winter Retreat 2017

Chris Allen discusses intermediate Haskell topics commonly needed in industry software projects, focusing on peripheral dependencies of web applications.

Hello everyone! I'm known primarily for the book Haskell Programming from First Principles and for some free Haskell tutorials and guides. The material of my presentation at the winter retreat will be based on my upcoming book named Haskell Almanac. The content will be focused on intermediate topics which are commonly needed in industry software projects. Think "web applications", except I may not devote much actual time to a web framework, but rather, the peripheral dependencies of a Haskell web application. It is safe to assume that you should have the basics of Haskell down to get the full value of this lesson! The first 2/3s or 3/4s of the Haskell Book is a good baseline for what you should know. Remember that merely reading the material isn't sufficient, you will need to have done the exercises. If you're already using Haskell productively and can sling things like monad transformers without too much comfort, you probably do not need the book although some advanced readers have enjoyed the insights it offers. lorepub.com/
