Lambda Lounge: Mon 15th April - bank kata in Haskell
Hakim C
Next meeting is: Monday 15th April.
Liam Griffin-Jowett (@gryff - blog) of Codurance will show us a practical approach to solving the bank kata in Haskell. He’ll cover:
- using the compiler and tests to drive the design
- using monad transformers to compose the use of several side effects
- showing how to test monadic code

Our next meeting is: Monday 20th May.
Where we’re going, we don’t need servers!
Our own Alex Lynham (@hipsters_unite - blog) will help us find out how the Serverless framework and ClojureScript can be used in anger, what the gotchas are, and how you might go about making a development workflow using it.
By the end of the session, you should have a mini-API using Lambdas and ClojureScript deployed on AWS, as well as some idea of how these tools fit together with your text editor and development process.
Warning! Contains parens!
N.B. We’re just going to be focussing on using these two together during the session, we won’t be deep diving into Lambda Layers or any peripheral cool stuff, though we can talk about it at the pub!
Please ensure that you have:
- Installed Clojure, preferably via Leiningen
- Installed Node.js
- An AWS account (please double-check that billing limits are set!)
- Your favourite text editor
