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.
The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as:
The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs and a busy social program. You may want to check out the preliminary schedule to get some idea of what to expect.
The school will run from 08 July – 12 July 2024.
We kindly ask to register before June 1st.
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 online material freely 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. Or if you’re used to working in functional languages such as Scala, PureScript, Elm, OCaml, or Racket, and looking to learn more about foundations and Haskell – you may want to consider joining our summer school.
The lecture and lab sessions will be run in person in Utrecht. At the moment, we are not planning to offer hybrid lectures or remote attendance—but we are monitoring developments surrounding the pandemic closely.
We charge a registration fee of €250 (for students) and €750 (for professionals). There is an additional housing fee of €200 euros, if you need accommodation in Utrecht. Note that this registration fee includes course materials, coffee, lunches and dinners throughout the week. If the registration fee is problematic for you for any reason at all, please email the organisers and we can try to offer you a discounted rate or a fee waiver.
Feel free to contact Gabriele Kelle (g.k.keller {at} uu.nl) if you have any questions about participating.
