Developer Tech Talk - Monads

Screen_shot_2011-08-02_at_10
Is there anything more confusing to the non-Haskell coder than Monads? On Wednesday, August 3rd at 12:30pm, Hyperpublic's very own functional programming expert, @mkscrg will be presenting the talk which aims to answer the question, "Are Monads the best thing since sliced bread?"

No spoilers here, you'll have to come to the talk to hear the answer. In the word's of Mike...

Monads are one the most talked about "features" of the Haskell language. The web abounds with monad tutorials and monad examples, yet they maintain a reputation for giving newcomers a hard time. What are monads, and what are they good for? Do you even have to code in Haskell to use them? We'll approach monads from a problem-oriented perspective, with discussions of some other important type classes along the way.

If you want to participate in this week's developer lunch, shoot an email to doug@hyperpublic.com to let us know you're coming, and bring lunch to our office at 12:30 on Wednesday, August 3rd.
