---++ Obligatory Reading
---+++ During the course
   * [[http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/][The Haskell Language Report]] Besides the Language Definition there is also a description of the standard libraries.
   *  [[http://www.haskell.org/ghc/][<nop>Glasgow Haskell Compiler</nop>]], and Haskell extensions; The GHC (Glasgow/Glorious Haskell Compiler) is currently the compiler of choice for writing real Haskell programs. The compiler supports many extensions and options, and is extensively documented. All students are supposed to go over this documentation in order to get an overview of what are the possibilities when using this programming environment.
#ReadingOne
---+++ Associated with specific lectures (1)
   * [[http://www.cs.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html][John Hughes: Why Functional programming Matters]] is the classical introduction to why one should want to write programs in a lazy functional language.
   * [[http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/vakken/afp/Literature/dsel-hudak.pdf][Paul Hudak: Domain Specific Languages]] is a tutorial that providesa nice overview of several different combinator languages and why they were designed in the way the were.

---+++ Some references to papers for future lectures (yet incomplete/depending on subjects chosen)
   * [[http://research.microsoft.com/~simonpj/papers/meta-haskell/][Template Meta Programming]] by Simon Peyton Jones
   * [[http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/vakken/afp/Literature/LL1.pdf][Fast, Error Correcting Parser Combinators]]
   * [[http://www.cs.uu.nl/docs/vakken/afp/Literature/p224-swierstra.pdf][Polish Parsers, Step by Step]]

---++ Useful links you may want to have a look at
   * [[http://www.haskell.org][The Haskell home page]] contains numerous links to groups, projects, people, literature, software etc.
   * [[http://www.willamette.edu/~fruehr/logos/intro.html][Logos]] contains pictures you might want to use for "brightening up" your presentation

---+++ Conferences

There are a couple of important conferences in the area of functional programming, amongst which:

   * [[http://www.math.luc.edu/icfp/][International Conference onFunctional Programming (ACM)]], with its [[http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm][proceedings]]
   * [[http://www.macs.hw.ac.uk/~ifl03/][IFL]], of which the proceedings are published in the LNCS series.
   * [[http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm][POPL: Annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages]]
   * [[http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm][PPDP: International Conference on Principles and Practice of Declarative Programming]]
   * [[http://portal.acm.org/dl.cfm][Haskell Workhop]] 

---+++ Other Functional Languages
   * [[http://www.cs.kun.nl/~clean/][Clean]], a very efficient lazy implemented functional language from Dutch origin.
   * [[http://www-2.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs.cmu.edu/project/fox/mosaic/sml.html][ML]] is the standard, statically typed, non-lazy functional language
