  • Alberto Gómez Corona

    How Haskell can solve the integration problem 7 Mar 2014Alberto Gómez Corona

    Will show how long running tasks, Web apps, workflows, EAI Orchestration and BPM applications share the same underlying problem: The "integration problem", that only haskell can solve with more simplicity, generality and maintainability
  • Alberto Gómez Corona

    MFlow as a DSL for Web applications 21 Nov 2013Alberto Gómez Corona

    This tutorial shows some example of the use of [MFlow](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/MFlow) as a DSL for web applications rather than as a web framework as such made of heterogeneous stuff. This tutorial modify step by step a simple application, that ask for two numbers and show the result, with different applicative and monadic combinators, adding also some modifiers to create from a multipage application to a single page application, AJAX driven, with autorefresh, push, runtime templating and so on. All of them by adding composable, type safe haskell elements under a single paradigm.
  • Edward Kmett

    Part I: Deamortized ST 8 Nov 2013Edward Kmett

    This is a slow exploration of a novel approach to deamortization in Haskell, that lets us implement more algorithms with a fully functional persistent API, with previously unachievable asymptotics.
  • Daniel Diaz Carrete

    Coroutines for streaming DanBurton

    As the conduit- and pipes-style streaming abstractions continue to gain popularity, it is useful to take a look at an even higher abstraction from which they can be built: coroutines. In this series, we will learn about coroutines in general, select a particular "suspension functor," and then rebuild the Proxy type from pipes. This will help you understand the nature of control passing that underlies conduit and pipes.

    Type Families and Pokemon. 16 Mar 2013nubis

    This friendly tutorial will follow the evolution of a program from it's most naive implementation, into a version of the same program which introduces Type Classes, and then finally into it's final form which uses Type Families.
  • Yann Esposito

    Haskell Fast & Hard Yann Esposito

    The SoH Version of Haskell Fast & Hard tutorial. From very beginner up to Monads in a very short and dense tutorial. This tutorial comes from [yannesposito.com](http://yannesposito.com). If you prefer a static version you could always check it [here](http://yannesposito.com/Scratch/en/blog/Haskell-the-Hard-Way), but the ability to interact with the code provides a great way to learn Haskell without installing anything on your computer. Furthermore, the School of Haskell version contains some exercises not present in the original version.
