Feb 5th Meeting: Haskell Code Share/Walkthrough/Tutorial (SDL, Random, Laziness, etc.)

When: February 5th @ 6:00 pm in CSC 2-49 @ UAlberta

Presenters: Abram Hindle, Joshua Campbell, and more!

This meeting is going to be a hands-on functional programming meeting! Bring your laptop and we'll walkthrough some existing systems and talk about how functionality was achieved functionally (or not).

• Haskell sand game will be discussed. It uses SDL to provide an interactive automata game. Issues regarding graphics, state, randomness, and garbage collection will be discussed.
• Sieve of Eratosthenes exploits laziness to find primes (pretty simple but elegant).
• Your project here! Do you want to share? Bring it along and share it with us.

So we're still looking for other presenters but please join us, bring your laptop, and lets get down to some functional hacking in Haskell!
