- Prerequisites
- IB015 Non-Imperative Programming
Pre-requisities for enrolling in the course are to be familiar with Haskell in the scope of the IB015 Non-Imperative Programming course and to have a positive attitude towards functional programming. - Course Enrolment Limitations
- The course is also offered to the students of the fields other than those the course is directly associated with.
The capacity limit for the course is 36 student(s).
Current registration and enrolment status: enrolled: 3/36, only registered: 0/36, only registered with preference (fields directly associated with the programme): 0/36 - fields of study / plans the course is directly associated with
- there are 68 fields of study the course is directly associated with, display
- Course objectives
- Students will significantly extend their knowledge of functional programming. At the end of the course, they should be able to solve non-trivial programming problems using Haskell and be familiar with practical use of this functional language.
- Learning outcomes
- After finishing the course, the student will be able to:
— write a Haskell program with approximatelly 100 to 200 lines;
— perform analysis and functional decompisition of given problem;
— use supportive tools for Haskell developers such as the Cabal package manager, the Hackage package repository, the HLint linter, and the QuickCheck testing framework;
— describe theoretical functional concepts;
— have an idea about some more advanced functional techniques used in practice. - Syllabus
- Advanced syntax, modules, custom type classes, advanced data structures.
- Package system (Hackage/Stackage), support tools (Cabal, HLint, Haddock).
- Functors, applicative functors, monads.
- Automatic generation of tests according to program specification (QuickCheck).
- Input and output in Haskell, processing errors and exceptions (Maybe, Either, exceptions, error states).
- Semigroups, monoids, the Foldable and Traversable classes.
- Evaluation strategies (laziness vs. strictness).
- Context-aware traversal of data structures (Zippers, Lens).
- Monadic parsing (Parsec).
- Monads for shared writing, shared reading and keeping the state (Writer, Reader, State).
- Monad transformers (MaybeT, ErrorT).
- Processing strings and other useful GHC extensions.
- Haskell in real world projects.
