Maximilian Tagher builds a basic blog from scratch using the Haskell web framework Yesod.

In this screencast, I build a basic blog using the Haskell web framework Yesod. It should be accessible to anyone with basic web development experience; non-Haskell programmers found it understandable. Links: Code written in this screencast: github.com/MaxGabriel/YesodScreencast Yesod quickstart guide: yesodweb.com/page/quickstart Yesod book: yesodweb.com/book Yesod community: yesodweb.com/page/community Tools used: Editor: Sublime Text Plugins: * Yesod package, for syntax highlighting of Hamlet and the routes file packagecontrol.io/packages/Yesod * Sublime Haskell (I use this for syntax highlighting only) packagecontrol.io/packages/SublimeHaskell Shell: fish fishshell.com/ Documentation lookup: Dash kapeli.com/dash I use dash-haskell to generate docsets for Dash, using a cabal sandbox github.com/jfeltz/dash-haskell Screenrecording: ScreenFlow telestream.net/screenflow/overview.htm Special thanks: * The Yesod developers, especially Michael Snoyman, Greg Weber, and Felipe Lessa. * Early reviewers of this screencast, especially Micah Fivecoate An earlier version of this screen was released as a draft youtu.be/RYO_E6RNEEs This video is licensed to the public domain creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/

Where are the simple `Lets build ___ with Haskell` posts? I've seen three such posts so far but they tackle pretty advanced topics: compilers and browser engines. - Build a Haskell compiler - Build a Scheme Compiler - Build a browser If you know of any posts along the lines of lets Build X with Haskell can you please post them. I would personally love to see some simple introductory projects like Todo lists to help bridge the gap between solving programming problems and writing applications. I think it would be a good idea for the material to be current enough to work as well. Here's what's been found so far. **Apps** - How to build a Reddit Slack Bot in Haskell - Rest API in Haskel…

yesod handler problem Helllo, Im following this tutorial ( [video to learn yesod better. but as soon as I do this : ``` getPostNewR :: Handler Html getPostNewR = do defaultLayout $ do $(widgetFile "posts/new")\`\`\` ``` I see this error ``` /home/roelof/blog/src/Handler/PostNew.hs:9:21: error: Empty 'do' block | 9 | defaultLayout $ do \`\`\`\`\` ``` How to solve this ?

On “Tips for finding out what module originates a symbol?”

…a word in Sublime Text, which detects that it's a Haskell file (to constrain search results) and brings up Dash. dash-haskell can build docsets from a cabal sandbox, so when I search for Single I'm getting results from Persistent/Aeson/Text, rather than pipes-concurrency which I don't have installed. Example usage of Dash at 21:55 in this video: link to this video…

On “A step by step tutorial for a Web Framework”

There isn't, afaik, a step by step tutorial working through the basics of Yesod. Something like that does sound like a good idea; I also had trouble working through the Yesod book before I had a high-level overview of Yesod and had played around with a scaffolded project a bit. As far as getting a good foundation with Yesod, I made a screencast a couple months ago covering basics like the scaffolding, Hamlet, forms, database queries, routing, etc. You won't have the advantage of being able to follow along and write/paste in the code yourself like with a written tutorial, but it should give you enough knowledge to start coding a small site + be able to read chapters of the Yesod book with…

On “Where are the simple `Lets build ___ with Haskell` posts?”

I made this screencast 2 years ago on making a blog app using Yesod. I still get good feedback on it, though since making it there have been scaffolding changes that will make it not 100% perfect. link to this video

Just speaking about Yesod specifically, but install instructions are available here: http://www.yesodweb.com/page/quickstart. I also just made a screencast making a small site with Yesod that'd be a good overview if you're interested—the main thing that's not covered is `cabal install yesod-bin` link to this video
