Haskell Functional Programming Curriculum

This project is an educational resource for functional programming education, focused on teaching core concepts and terminology through simple definitions and practical code examples. It provides a way to study fundamental vocabulary and illustrative examples to assist with the transition from imperative to functional programming. The resource serves as a reference for building a professional software engineering vocabulary, enabling more effective communication of technical terms used within the functional paradigm. The site is implemented using static site generation, utilizing markdown content management and template-based rendering to organize terminology and examples into permanent HTML pages.

This project is a comprehensive functional programming curriculum and learning resource for Haskell. It provides sequenced educational paths and technical reference guides designed to take developers from beginner to advanced levels of proficiency. The project distinguishes itself through a deep focus on theoretical and technical foundations, offering detailed studies on type theory, category theory, and runtime internals. It includes a dedicated performance handbook for optimizing execution speed and memory management, as well as an ecosystem guide for managing development tools and editor configurations. Its technical coverage extends to advanced functional patterns and architectural strategies, including monad transformers, recursion schemes, and lens utilities. The materials also cover practical implementation areas such as parser combinators, property-based testing, concurrency models, and the design of domain-specific languages. The resource also aggregates external guides, university courses, and multilingual materials to support a broad range of learners.

Stack is a build tool, package manager, and project bootstrapper for the Haskell language. It provides a consistent environment for compiling source code, managing project binaries, and executing programs. The system ensures reproducible builds through snapshot-based dependency resolution and manages the installation of specific compiler binaries to match project requirements. It utilizes content-addressable package storage and local-path caching to maintain the integrity of source code and avoid redundant downloads across different projects. The toolset covers the full development lifecycle, including project initialization via standardized templates, the compilation of applications and libraries, and the installation of executable packages. It also provides an interactive read-eval-print loop for real-time code testing and state exploration.
