FringeDC Formal Meeting March 22nd at 1PM- Haskell Spectacular: XMonad, Zippers and More!

[lisp...@gmail.com]

FringeDC is a group in Washington DC interested in Fringe Programming
Languages (Lisp, Haskell, Erlang, Prolog, etc.) www.lisperati.com/fringedc.html

Our next meeting features Brent Yorgey, who is well known in the
Haskell community and a contributor to XMonad. For those who don't
know, XMonad (a purely functional windows manager) is often lauded
(well, by me at least :-) as a masterpiece in software engineering. It
cleanly marries elegant functional programming code with the ugliest
of uglies, the X Windows system. Brent will be giving an intro to
Haskell and explain the nuts of bolts of extending XMonad. As an
opener, Philip Fominykh will be giving an opening presentations on
Zippers, an exotic purely functional data structure popular among
Haskellers!

The Meeting is will be held on Saturday, March 22nd. It is hosted by
Clark&Parsia, a developer of OWL/Semantic Web reasoning software in
downtown DC.
