Request for a presentation on Haskell
Hi Folks: I would like to know if anyone from the Haskell organization would like to give a presentation on Haskell to our BSD User Group (BSD = Berkeley Software Development). We are the South Eastern Michigan BSD User Group (http://www.semibug.org/). Myself and several other members are very intereested in Haskell and would like to learn more about this language. You would make the presentation online, by means of Jitsi. The date I am hoping for is January 17th, 2023. I can move that date if need be. The talks are usually given in the evenings. Contact me off list for more details. Thanks in advance. -- Kind regards, Jonathan ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Jonathan,
I might be available, if you are interested. Most of my work is
Haskell-centric. I've made commercial games and apps (mobile, desktop,
web). In the last 5y I've focused on runtime monitoring and language
transformation (very broadly speaking).
See https://ivanperez.io/ for details.
If you are interested, we can continue the discussion off-list.
Thanks,
Ivan

Hello Ivan: I am impressed with your experience. Originally, I asked Emily Pillmore to give the presentation in January and she said yes but the date was not firm. See http://www.semibug.org/ She just wrote me an hour ago saying she would like to do the January presentation. I can move the date for her to accommodate her schedule. For most people Haskell is something they are completely unfamiliar with. The whole concept of functional programming is foreign to their programming experience. So for a first presentation I would like to see: * What are the advantages of Functional programming as opposed to a procedural language like C? * What does the Haskell Foundation do? * What resources and books are good for learning Haskell? My members would be keenly interested in learning about Haskell. I am already convinced it's a terrific language. I am a complete novice programmer and I was able to write a simple program to evaluate double integrals. I did this after reading Scott Walck's book and Miran Lipovaca's book. Look, this is something I never could get to work in C: -- Computes the double integral by the trapezoid rule -- n is half the number of steps for the interval of integraion. -- See the book "Differential and Integral Calculus" -- by Richard Courant,Volume 1, page 343 {- /b /d | | | | f(x,y) dydx | | /a /c or in polar coordinates /R /2*pi | | | | f(r,q) r*dqdr | | /0 /0 dblIntgTrap.hs https://tinyurl.com/38wzfkst Anyway Ivan, you could do a future presentaion on the games and other routines you wrote in Haskell. It's going to take more than one talk for most people to get the hang of Haskell and functional programming. -- Kind regards, Jonathan

Jonathan,
[...] I am a complete novice

Nice!

Sounds good. Let me know. Talks about games are relatively easy to do on a shorter notice (2-3 weeks are good). Talks about my NASA work may require a longer heads up because they require going through a formal approval process (4 weeks are good). All the best, and welcome to the Haskell club :) Ivan
