Subject: next meeting

Hi,

We will have our next meeting on 6/27, at 7pm, in Engine Yard, San
Francisco.

This will be our last meeting at Engine Yard: Larry is leaving for... for
some time.

We agreed to start discussing the book that was mentioned before:

*Algebaric and Coalgebraic Methods in the Mathematics of Program
Construction.*

This is a collection of articles/tutorials, so there's no need to read it
chapter by chapter.
Larry will choose his favorite chapter and tell us any time soon.

The book can be purchased on Amazon for about $50. It's worth it, I believe.

Best regards, and see you soon again,
-Vlad

As with any math book, you get out what you put in !

Let's go ahead and go with chapter 5 for this meeting (which was mentioned
previously). It's self-contained and available online:
http://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/jeremy.gibbons/publications/acmmpc-calcfp.pdf

This chapter goes over implicitly defining functions via their universal
properties (which enables short equational reasoning proofs).
The content is inspired by category theory, but does not mention it
explicitly, so during the meeting we can go over what each functional
programming concept generalizes to in arbitrary categories.
