Course Overview
Learn how to create, build, run, and test Haskell programs and reuse existing Haskell packages
Haskell is a powerful, purely functional programming language that allows developers to express their designs elegantly and succinctly. Modern Haskell tools such as Cabal and Stack also allow developers to build and manage large and complex systems and to consume a vast array of high-quality open source libraries.
First we will start this course by learning how to edit , build and test our Haskell code. Then we will learn how to create modules in Haskell. We will learn about the various Haskell repositories and how to use them.Once we have our Haskell package in place we will end by testing our package using third-party ecosystems.
This course builds on the foundations provided by the Fundamentals of Practical Haskell Programming course and helps to bridge the gap between introductory and advanced Haskell by teaching you how to manage and develop complex programs. We'll also dispel the myth that Haskell is only useful for toy programs.
This course covers the important parts of the Haskell development process that are frequently neglected by beginner-level tutorials.
About the Author
Richard Cook is a staff software engineer at Tableau Software and works on high-performance relational database systems. He works primarily in C++, but has experience in a broad range of languages and technologies. He is a keen user of Haskell in his spare time and is frequently able to apply his functional programming and Haskell experience to his daily work. He is organizer of the Seattle Area Haskell Users’ Group and an active member of the Seattle functional programming community. He is currently developing a machine-learning framework for Haskell.
He has a deep interest in programming languages and type systems in general, having developed compilers and developer tooling in the past. He is also a keen user of Python and C# and works regularly on all major desktop operating systems and dabbles with web applications.

Nice course. I had a problem with the Atom editor which is no more supported but I could replace it with MS Visual Studio Code. A lot of Haskell plugins there that assure your stack tools are updated on windows as well! :)

I learned heaps about how to get started with Haskell projects. Not everything was useful at the time of consuming the course material, but I am sure I will be back from time to time to pick up on some of the finer details. What was especially useful was getting to understand the interrelationship between Cabal and Stack, some of the section on modules and the searching in the Packages section.
