Introduction to Haskell Part 0 Dreese 266 7pm Thursday Jan 12 2012
Haskell is an advanced purely-functional programming language. An open-source product of more than twenty years of cutting-edge research, it allows rapid development of robust, concise, correct software. With strong support for integration with other languages, built-in concurrency and parallelism, debuggers, profilers,rich libraries and an active community, Haskell makes it easier to produce flexible, maintainable, high-quality software.

I’ve recently revamped my Haskell Presentation. It should flow significantly smoother than its previous incarnations. This will be the first of a series of Haskell talks. The series should cover a wide breadth of material at a fairly deep level. This will be the basic introduction to programming in Haskell.
The Haskell interpreter (ghci) is a great help in learning how things work. If you want to follow along Thursday night, you should download the Haskell Platform for your favorite operating system: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
