Intro to Haskell

[jasonstolaruk]

A quick intro to Haskell syntax and the core characteristics/features of the language, tailored to an audience that is already familiar with basic concepts of functional programming. What are Haskell's strengths, what are its "warts." Will include a brief discussion of Haskell history and basic typeclasses (I don't anticipate going further than Functior). Utilize GHCi to illustrate ideas.
1-1.5 hours in length.

Could you please add on both proposals:

• short abstract
• estimated duration

Thanks!

[jasonstolaruk]

Thanks for tagging with "proposal," I couldn't seem to figure out how to do that myself.

[filippovitale]

Maybe you need more power, I am trying making you a "member".

I was wondering if it would be possible to break it in multiple parts as we would like to try to have talks not longer than 30min.

BTW would be possible for you to do a first 15min short introduction talk for this month meetup?

[jasonstolaruk]

Hi Filippo, sorry but I just don't have time to prepare. I already have a presentation to give that day in the afternoon, and I kinda scrambling to prepare for that.
If you can give me more notice, I can prepare a 15-min presentation for next time.

[filippovitale]

That's not a problem, I was wondering if you had the chance 👍

Hi Jason, for the April's meetup, the short talk slot is still available. Would you be interested on giving this one?

[jasonstolaruk]

Hi Filippo, sorry but I'm not interested in giving a presentation at this time. Someone else can have this topic if there is an interested person. Thanks for asking!
