  • Lecture 2 on July 1. Covered: user-defined data types and motivations for using them, sum and product types, pattern matching.
  • Lab 1 on July 6. Covered: structure of a single-module project, ghc and some basic console I/O.

  • Lab 2 on August 5. Covered: modules and namespacing, applicative parsing with parsec, a monad-transformer stack (Lisp monad), and sets and maps (Data.Set, Data.Map).
  • Lecture 8 on August 13. Covered: Foldable and Traversable, plus a potpourri of language extensions (including MultiParamTypeClasses and FunctionalDependencies.)
