Today I read this fantastic blog post:<br>You Could Have Invented Monads! (And Maybe You Already Have.) <br><a href="http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html">http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monads-and.html</a><br>
<br>You most probably have seen the post by now, but I just wanted to remind it, just in case.<br><br>Best,<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On 3 August 2010 22:51, aditya siram <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:aditya.siram@gmail.com">aditya.siram@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

The audience consists of experienced non-Haskell developers but they will be familiar with basic functional concepts (closures, first-class functions etc.). <br>

<br>I am looking for suggestions on how to introduce the concept and its implications. I&#39;d also like to include a section on why monads exist and why we don&#39;t really see them outside of Haskell.<br><br>Has anyone here done a talk like this? And if so what parts of your presentation were successful and what would you stay away from.<br>

<br>Thanks for the feedback.<br>-deech<br><br>[1] It&#39;s in St.Louis, Missouri at the <a href="http://St.Louis%20Perl%20Mongers%20meeting" target="_blank">St.Louis Perl Mongers meeting</a> so come on by if you&#39;re around!<br>
