Haskell Training and Certification in Thimphu, Bhutan

This course provides a comprehensive introduction to Haskell, a powerful, purely functional programming language. Participants will learn functional programming principles, lazy evaluation, type systems, monads, and advanced functional constructs. The course is designed to help developers write more robust and concise code while understanding the theoretical foundations of functional programming.

Introduction to Haskell and Functional Programming

• Overview of Haskell and functional programming paradigms
• Installing Haskell and using GHCi (Haskell interpreter)
• Writing the first Haskell program (Hello, World!)
• Understanding immutability and pure functions
• Working with basic types (Int, Float, Bool, Char, String)

Type System, Pattern Matching, and Recursion

• Understanding Haskell’s strong and static type system
• Type inference and defining custom data types
• Pattern matching and guards in function definitions
• Using lists, tuples, and list comprehensions
• Implementing recursion and tail recursion optimization

Higher-Order Functions, Monads, and Real-World Applications

• Understanding higher-order functions and function composition
• Using map, filter, and fold operations
• Introduction to functors, applicatives, and monads
• Working with IO operations and handling side effects
• Building a basic Haskell web service using Yesod/Scotty
• Hands-on: Developing and testing a simple Haskell application
