Hi, I just wanted to mention that I studied my MsC. degree at Utrecht University and Prof. Swiestra was my thesis supervisor. I cannot recommend this summer school enough. Not only are Prof. Swiestra's accomplishments extraordinary (you can look that up online) but he is also very gifted at teaching. I took many courses with him and were both interesting and entertaining. Prof. Swiestra is also very patient and dedicated and I am sure he will put a lot of care making sure his students thoroughly understand the topics and ensuring the summer school is well organized and structured. All other professors I had in Utrecht were excellent at teaching so I believe this is a great opportunity to "shift up gears" in the wonderful Haskell language.

SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING
Online - 05-9 July 2021
# Call for Participation
## 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.
This year the course will be offered *online only*. A typical day will consist a 2-3 hours of lectures, sandwiched between supervised lab sessions. Lectures will be held in the (European) afternoon, but recordings will be made available if attending live is problematic.
The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding programming with types in Haskell, including topics such as:
* monads and applicative functors; * lambda calculus; * generalized algebraic datatypes; * datatype generic programming * type families and type-level programming;
## Lecturers
Utrecht staff: * Gabriele Keller * Trevor McDonell * Wouter Swierstra
## 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.
Soft registration deadline: 1 June, 2021 School: 05-09 July, 2021
## Costs
50 euro - Registration fee
We ask ask participants to pay a small registration fee to cover some of our organizational expenses. If this is problematic for you *for whatever reason*, please let us know and we can waive your registration fee.
