After completing the course, the student
- knows how to use advanced wrapper structures such as applicative functors, monoids and monads in functional programming.
- is able to write parallel and distributed systems in functional languages.
- is able to utilise software transactional memory in functional programming.
- knows various ways to improve correctness of functional programs.
Course material
Videos (online), reading (mainly the online book Learn You a Haskell)
Completion methods
Individual work & self-study with a possibility to consult the teacher. The student needs to electronically submit the required exercises (graded automatically) and take the electronic exam (organised on campus).
