I've recently revamped my Haskell Presentation. It should flow
significantly smoother than its previous incarnations. This will be the
first of a series of Haskell talks. The series should cover a wide
breadth of material at a fairly deep level. This will be the basic
introduction to programming in Haskell.

The Haskell interpreter (ghci) is a great help in learning how things
work.  If you want to follow along Thursday night, you should download
the Haskell Platform for your favorite operating system:
