SUMMER SCHOOL ON ADVANCED FUNCTIONAL PROGRAMMING Utrecht, the Netherlands, 06-10 July 2020 http://www.afp.school # 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. We have decided to advertise the Summer School and accept new registrations for the moment, but we are monitoring the situation with COVID-19 carefully. All the Utrecht Summer Schools offer participants a full refund of their registration fee if they decide to cancel their registration. The lectures will cover several more advanced topics regarding the theory and practice of Haskell programming, including topics such as: * lambda calculus; * monads and monad transformers; * lazy evaluation; * generalized algebraic data types; * type families and type-level programming; * concurrency and parallelism. The summer school consists of a mix of lectures, labs, and a busy social program. ## 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 July, 2020 School: 06-10 July, 2020 ## Costs 1700 euro - Housing and registration 1500 euro - Registration only We offer a 1000 discount for students and staff members affiliated with a university or other non-profit organization. ## Scholarships If you're struggling to finance your trip to Utrecht, please let us know.
