2016: An introduction to Haskell Programming

ABOUT THE COURSE
 Functional programming is an elegant, concise and powerful programming paradigm. This style encourages breaking up programming tasks into logical units that can be easily translated into provably correct code. Haskell brings together the best features of functional programming and is increasingly being used in the industry, both for building rapid prototypes and for actual deployment.

INTENDED AUDIENCE
 Any one interested in learning this language

PRE-REQUISITES
 NIL

INDUSTRIES THAT WILL VALUE THIS
 Would be useful in any industry requiring a good understanding of programming, algorithms and data structures.

2985 students have enrolled already!!
