[Haskell-beginners] Utrecht Summer School on Advanced Functional Programming 2022

[Swierstra, W.S. (Wouter)]

# Call for Participation

   SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING

     Utrecht, the Netherlands, 04 July – 08 July 2022

   http://www.afp.school

## ABOUT

The Advanced Functional Programming summer school has been running for
more than ten years. We aim to educate aspiring Haskell programmers
beyond the basic material covered by many textbooks.

After running remotely for the past two years, we're thrilled to
announce that this year's edition will take place on site in
Utrecht. We are monitoring the pandemic closely - and will make
contingency plans if we cannot meet in person; at the moment, we do
not have plans for remote participation.

The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the
theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as:

   * lambda calculus;
   * monads and monad transformers;
   * lazy evaluation;
   * generalized algebraic data types;
   * type families and type-level programming;
   * concurrency and parallelism.

The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs, and a busy
social program.

## LECTURERS

* Gabriele Keller
* Trevor McDonell
* Wouter Swierstra

## PREREQUISITES

We expect students to have a basic familiarity with Haskell
already. You should be able to write recursive functions over
algebraic data types, such as lists and trees. There is a great deal
of material readily available that covers this material. If you've
already started learning Haskell and are looking to take your
functional programming skills to the next level, this is the course
for you.

## DATES

Soft registration deadline: 24 June, 2022

any reason at all, please email the organisers and we can try to offer
