AFP website : http://www.cs.uu.nl/wiki/USCS contact : Uscs-afp@lists.science.uu.nl *** The 2016 edition of the Applied Functional Programming (AFP) Summerschool in Utrecht, Netherlands will be held from 4-15 July 2016. The summerschool teaches Haskell on both beginners and advanced levels via lectures and lab exercises. More info can be found via the references above, included here is a summary from the summerschool info: ``Typed functional programming languages allow for the development of robust, concise programs in a short amount of time. The key advantages are higher-order functions as an abstraction mechanism, and an advanced type system for safety and re usability. This course explores Haskell, a state-of-the-art functional programming language, together with some of its theoretical background, such as typed lambda calculi, referential transparency, Damas-Milner type inference, type level programming, and functional design patterns. We will combine this with applications of functional programming, concentrating on topics such as language processing, building graphical user interfaces, networking, databases, and programming for the web. The goal of the course is not just to teach the programming language and underlying theory, but also to learn about the Haskell community and to get hands-on experience by doing lab exercises or a Haskell project of your own.'' The summerschool is organised and given by the Software Technology group (http://www.uu.nl/en/research/software-systems/software-technology) within the Department of Information and Computing Sciences (http://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/department-of-information-and- computing-sciences), a group which in the departmental research evaluation over the past years was singled out by ``...the functional programming activities are known to be world leading in their domain.'' *** regards, - Atze - Atze Dijkstra, Department of Information and Computing Sciences. /|\ Utrecht University, PO Box 80089, 3508 TB Utrecht, Netherlands. / | \ Tel.: +31-30-2534118/1454 | WWW : http://www.cs.uu.nl/~atze . /--| \ Fax : +31-30-2513971 .... | Email: atze@uu.nl ............... / |___\
