# Call for Participation SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Utrecht, the Netherlands, 27-31 August 2018 http://www.afp.school ## ABOUT 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: * lambda calculus; * monads and monad transformers; * lazy evaluation; * generalized algebraic data types; * type families and type-level programming; * concurrency and parallelism. The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs, and a busy social program. ## LECTURERS Utrecht staff: * Johan Jeuring * Alejandro Serrano Mena * Doaitse Swierstra * Wouter Swierstra Guest lectures: * Manuel Chakravarty * Koen Claessen * Gabriele Keller ## PREREQUISITES 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 material readily 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. ## DATES Registration deadline: 1 August, 2017 School: 27-31 August ## COSTS €1700 - Housing and registration €1500 - Registration only We offer a €1000 discount for students and staff members affiliated with a university. ## SCHOLARSHIPS If you’re struggling to finance your trip to Utrecht, please let us know.
