Course description

6 weeks

Do you want to develop software using the latest programming language paradigm? Haskell is a functional programming language, based on formal mathematical principles. As such, it is easy to reason about and develop, and it executes efficiently on modern multicore machines. From investment banks to social networks, everyone is adopting Haskell.
Get an introduction to functional programming in Haskell
On this introductory course, you will discover the power, elegance and simplicity of functional programming in Haskell. By the end, you will be able to:
characterise the differences between imperative and functional programming paradigms;
implement small-scale functional programs in elementary Haskell;
apply standard combinators for operating on lists;
create new algebraic data types and use recursion to define functions that traverse recursive types;
and reason in a mathematical manner about data types, functions, recursion and similar functional constructs.
Learn with developers from the birthplace of Haskell
This course has been created by the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow – the virtual birthplace of the Haskell language, where many of its original developers worked. It will give you the opportunity to learn with these experts and join the growing, global community of Haskell programmers.

Develop simple programs involving basic Haskell techniques, including pure function definitions
Produce definitions of algebraic data types and apply recursion to define functions that traverse such types
Interpret data structures and function interfaces using types
Apply formal methods to prove properties of functional programs
Develop, modify, and explore code using standard Haskell platform tools
Justify why a program uses common standard monads (including IO and Maybe)
Explore standard combinators for operating on lists

This course is intended for learners who already have experience of at least one programming language, such as Python or Java. You might be a computer science student, a software developer who wants to learn a new programming style, or somebody considering university study in computer science or information technology.

The University of Glasgow
Founded in 1451, the University of Glasgow is the fourth oldest university in the English-speaking world. It is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of leading UK research universities.
