Functional Programming I

Overview & Synopsis

Authored by Graham Hutton, this online course module introduces the basic axioms of functional programming using Haskell, which is a modern functional programming language. It introduces the learner to the basic ideas of functional programming, immutability of data, purity of function, higherorder functions. Students will work through practical examples and exercises to build a firm grasp of methods in functional programming. This course is aimed at understanding and applying core principles in Haskell to enable learners to fathom the advantages and paradigms of functional programming. Therefore, its a good resource for beginners who wish to investigate functional programming through getting their hands dirty with Haskell.
