Advanced Functional Programming: First International Spring School on Advanced Functional Programming Techniques Båstad, Sweden, May 24–30, 1995 Tutorial Text

Jeroen Fokker (auth.), Johan Jeuring, Erik Meijer (eds.)3540594515, 9783540594512

This volume presents the tutorials given during the First International Spring School on Advanced Functional Programming Techniques, held in Bastad, Sweden in May 1995.
The last few years have seen important new developments in functional programming techniques: concepts, such as monads, type classes, and several new special purpose libraries of higher-order functions are new and powerful methods for structuring programs. This book brings programmers, software engineers and computer scientists up-to-date with the latest techniques. Most tutorial contributions contain exercises to familiarize the reader with the new concepts and techniques, and only basic knowledge in functional programming is assumed.
