Before taking this course, you should have completed Functional Programming I.

After the course you

  • have more experience in functional programming,
  • understand the role of side effects in functional programming, and
  • know more Haskell programming techniques.

Central topics are:

  • side effects in functional programming (the monad structure in Haskell),
  • features and libraries of the Haskell programming language,
  • how to use functional programming in a real programming project.

The course is based on online material that is available in the MOOC system.

The course is graded based on the number of solved exercises. Possible grades: fail / pass / 5.

Contact information:

  • The course is completed in the MOOC learning environment between 1 January 2021 and 31 August 2021.
