FP day 2020 at University of Glasgow Singapore

[Lu Zhuo Ming]

Dear folks,

Just a heads up that the FP day 2020 @ University of Glasgow Singapore will be held on 4th March 2020. We are calling for participation and presentation. If you would like to share a 20-30 mins talk about FP, it could be research, or project, or work experience, please do come and share with us and 70+ young haskellers, who will be graduating in 2020. Some of them are already working on final projects in Haskell or some other FP languages. 

If you are interested, kindly drop me a separate email. 

Regards,

Kenny

Hello all,

So i had a chance to present last year and my presentation was related to functional programming in Scala rather than Haskell, thanks to Kenny for having me there ☺ . Personally, i enjoyed all the other topics which were really cool ! 

The point i'm trying to make here is that they are fresh graduates whom have never been exposed to industry and i believe it would be helpful for them to demonstrate talks in :

- Productivity technical topics (e.g. writing idiomatic FP code in Haskell, Scala, Ocaml, Coding IDEs, boot strapping web apps etc)

- Software Testing

- Working effectively in teams

  - programming is a 1-man activity but software engineering is a team of individuals

- Deep technical topics to inspire the mind !!! (everybody needs these things imho ☺)

- Abstraction

  - Haskell / Scala (cats, scalaz) are notorious for creating giant abstractions and i believe and think its important to learn when not over over generalized because at the end of the day, business value should be demonstrated first.

etc

I know the scope of what i suggested might be outlandish but these are knowledge i wished i had learnt when i graduated long ago ☺.

Wishing you all a very good day,

Raymond

Hi all,

A gentle reminder. This event is still on. The actual date is to be finalized. 

For those who had indicated their interests in sharing a talk, please kindly drop me an email with the title and synopsis of your talk, hopefully by 15 Feb?

For those who is interested in giving a talk or just participating, kindly let me know too.

Gong xi fa cai!  Wish you all a healthy and wealthy lunar year ahead!

Hi Kenny,

What should be the length of the talks? I've been thinking about doing my
zipper talk from
https://gergo.erdi.hu/talks/2015-06-zipper/ZipperDeriv.pdf.

Thanks,
Gergo

[Lu Zhuo Ming]

Hi Gergo,

The length of the talk would be 30 mins. Zipper sounds fun.

Regards,

Kenny

Hi,

Would anyone share your experience playing with Elm, the web-oriented language with syntax similar to Haskell?

Thanks,

Chien

[Dr. ÉRDI Gergő]

I've used Idris for an (admittedly, very simple) single-page web app, would that be of interest?

[Lu Zhuo Ming]

Hi Chien,

One of the speaker of this upcoming event is going to talk about Elm.

Kenny

Dear all,
