The Queensland Functional Programming Lab (a joint initiative by CSIRO's Data61 and the Queensland Government) is running a free 3-day Functional Programming workshop in Brisbane, 11-13 February 2020. This is the traditional introductory workshop that has been run by CSIRO's Data61 for many years. This workshop is targeted toward people who have some basic programming experience, but little or no exposure to Functional Programming.

Who should attend?

Anyone who is interested in Functional Programming (FP) is encouraged to register. The introductory workshop is designed to be inclusive and requires no prior experience with functional programming. Each session will be instructed by team members of QFPL, will be conducted using the Haskell programming language to help you along your path of FP discovery.

Requirements for participation

Participants will be required to bring a suitable development machine (portable) for working through the exercises. You will also need to pre-install the Glasgow Haskell Compiler version 8 or higher on that machine.

You will require a local git clone on your development machine of the repository at https://github.com/data61/fp-course/

There are no other primary requirements. Reading up on Haskell syntax prior to the introductory material will be beneficial to progress.

We are also collecting expressions of interest for our applied course, which may run concurrently. Are you keen to attend, but unsure which track is best for you? Take a look at this article: http://qfpl.io/posts/intro-or-applied/
