Title: HAppS

Abstract

The Haskell Application Server (HAppS, http://happs.org) is a web framework for writing server applications. If that sounds too vague for you, imagine doing backend web programming with Haskell.

A unique feature of HAppS that it offers a novel way to manage persistent state in a purely Haskell way, without the need to use a DBMS-system, with great performance.

You might have looked at HAppS before, but since it only started to stabilize the last half year or so, it might be worth a look again.

I will give a demo of a small HAppS application (the start of a wiki), and show lots of actual code, right down to the 'inside' of HAppS, so you'll see how it really works.
