Re: [Haskell-cafe] Haskell in 3 Slides

Thanks Joe, Your assumption is correct--the whole presentation will be longer. I wanted to use 3 or 4 slides to introduce the language and the balance for the interesting stuff. :P /jve PS to Joe: I will not forget to reply to all. I will not forget to reply to all. I will not forget to reply to all. There, hopefully I won't forget any more. :) On Mon, May 18, 2009 at 12:29 PM, Joe Fredette wrote:

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.

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!
