Haskell: Lecture notes and assignments

Explore a comprehensive series of lecture notes and assignments on Haskell programming offered by the University of Pennsylvania. Dive into topics such as algebraic data types, recursion patterns, polymorphism, higher-order programming, type inference, lazy evaluation, folds, monoids, IO, functors, applicative functors, and monads. Complete weekly homework assignments to reinforce learning, with each task due on Mondays. Access supplementary materials including code files and text documents to support your understanding of complex concepts. Develop a strong foundation in functional programming through this structured, 12-week course that combines theoretical knowledge with practical application.

All homework assignments should emerge creatively from the Style guidelines. Homework is due each Monday by the start of class.
