Description

This course is about Haskell. Haskell is a strong, statically typed language with a very expressive type system. It also has non- strict evaluation, and it has a very unique approach to problem-solving. This course is going to emphasize using Haskell for practical problem-solving. This course consists of several topics, in three sections. In the first topic, we'll talk about problems that FP and Haskell can address. Then we'll talk about the functional programming-specific ways of approaching these problems. Then we'll talk about how Haskell specifically addresses these types of problems. Then we'll take a look at our first Haskell programs and start to begin an intuition for what they look like. And we'll dig deeper into some issues related to whitespace and layout. Then we'll use the Glasgow Haskell Compiler's read-evaluate-print loop, known as GHCi, to explore our Haskell programs' values and types and expressions. Then we'll learn to debug with GHCi. Moving on, we'll dig deeper, and we'll start to look at Haskell values and expressions, and specifically functions as values. We'll build an intuition for some of the core concepts. Then we'll look at types, polymorphism constraints, and how we can add type signatures to our values. And we're looking to sum up product types in Haskell's record syntax. At that point, we'll know enough to tackle type classes, and we'll learn how to make our own instances of existing type classes and how to build our own type classes. Finally, to cap it all off, we'll learn how to extract values from our algebraic data types. At the end of this course, you will have a practical working knowledge of Haskell, enough to start writing your own program. You'll also know how Haskell can help us solve problems in its particular approach to software engineering. And then, you'll also have knowledge of values, expressions and types in Haskell.
