Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell in 3 Slides

While an incredibly small font is a clever option, a more serious suggestion may be as follows. 3-4 slides imply 3-4 topics, so the question is what are the 3-4 biggest topics in haskell? I would think they would be: * Purity/Referential Transparency * Lazy Evaluation * Strong Typing + Type Classes * Monads Assuming you have, say, 10-15 minutes for the talk, and the people there are versed with imperative programming and maybe have some experience in functional programming, you can probably jump over each of those slides in about a minute, just enough to touch the subject. I also assume that you don't need to fit the whole presentation in 3-4 slides, if you do, then .... yah. /Joe David Leimbach wrote:

Hi all,

I'm giving a presentation to an IEEE group on Embedded DSL's and Haskell at the end of June. I need a 3 to 4 slide introduction to Haskell. What suggestions does the community have? Is such a short intro possible?

It just needs to introduce the basics so I can show some code without alienating the audience. I'm hoping some one else has attempted this before, but if not, some boiler plate slides could be useful for every one!
