About This Course
2025 Course update:
This course offers a deep, structured exploration of Haskell, one of the most influential functional programming languages. Designed for learners who want to understand Haskell’s conceptual foundations, design philosophy, and practical applications the course is delivered through engaging presentations with voiceover narration and concludes each lecture with multiple-choice questions to reinforce key ideas.
What You’ll Learn
· Haskell’s Origins and Evolution: Trace Haskell’s journey from its mathematical roots in lambda calculus and academic research, through its standardization (Haskell 98, Haskell 2010), the rise of the Glasgow Haskell Compiler (GHC), and the pivotal role of community and libraries in shaping “modern Haskell.”
· Functional Programming and Laziness: Discover the principles of purity, referential transparency, and lazy evaluation. Learn how these features enable elegant reasoning, composability, and optimizations, while also introducing unique trade-offs and strategies for predictability and performance.
· Type System Mastery: Dive into Haskell’s powerful static type system, including type inference (Hindley–Milner), parametric and ad-hoc polymorphism, algebraic data types, pattern matching, and advanced type-level programming. Understand how types encode invariants and prevent bugs, making Haskell code robust and maintainable.
· Abstractions and Interfaces: Demystify type classes, Functor, Applicative, Monad, and other algebraic abstractions. See how these concepts structure effects, parsing, error handling, and more—enabling clarity and correctness in Haskell programs.
· Tooling and Workflow: Get acquainted with the Haskell toolbelt—GHC, Cabal, Stack, Hackage, Stackage, Haskell Language Server, and testing libraries. Learn best practices for formatting, linting, documentation, and CI-friendly development.
· Performance and Concurrency: Explore Haskell’s runtime strengths, including lightweight threads, async, STM, parallel strategies, and profiling. Understand how strictness and memory management contribute to efficient, scalable systems.
· Real-World Applications: Survey Haskell’s impact in finance, compilers, blockchain, verification-heavy domains, infrastructure automation, analytics, and more. Examine adoption stories, interoperability, and domain modeling with embedded DSLs.
· The Cutting Edge: Look ahead to lenses and optics, modern effect systems, linear and dependent types, safer concurrency patterns, and emerging trends in the Haskell ecosystem.
Course Format
Each lecture is delivered as a clear, concise presentation using bullet points and text, designed for conceptual clarity and easy review.
The course focuses on ideas, mental models, and design principles, making it accessible to learners from diverse backgrounds.
Every lecture concludes with multiple-choice questions to test understanding and encourage active engagement.
Who Should Take This Course?
Learners interested in functional programming concepts and Haskell’s design, regardless of coding experience.
Developers, engineers, and technical managers seeking a conceptual grasp of Haskell’s strengths and ecosystem.
Anyone curious about how modern programming languages evolve, structure effects, and encode correctness.
Course Description for Section 10-12
In this course, I'll be explaining simple concepts of coding in Haskell. You'll learn all the basics: printing to screen, creating variables, getting using input, doing simple math, conditionals, lists, records, etc. This is a simple steady-paced course that can be effective for anyone who has an interest in coding in Haskell. You could be someone with experience in another language or someone entirely new to coding.
I'll be teaching using an online IDE, called replit, which serves its purpose great. You can sign-up for free, create a repl, and start following along with the lectures in a few minutes. However, since I made this part of the course replit has turned into some kind of online ai app builder, so please use these videos to understand the code and follow along with any other online editor or on your deivce.
Haskell is a functional programming language, primarily used for math, and known to be fast. It's often thought of as being difficult, but you'll find out in this course that it's as easy as pie.
I will be explaining code snippets and there will be a link to the repl that I'm discussing in the lecture resources. You can then fork it, and change the names and arguments in the code to come up with additional examples for each concept.
This course is a beginner-friendly breeze and will allow anyone to effectively grasp the core concepts of Haskell in just a short amount of time.
