A series of talks on functional programming languages covering Haskell, Lisp and F#.

Come to find out more about how functional programming languages allow us to specify what we want to compute, not how it should be computed.

Speakers:

• Thomas Down (Gurdon Institute) – Haskell: not just for purists
• Simon Peyton-Jones (Microsoft Research) – Nested Data Parallelism: from NESL to Haskell
• Stephen Eglen (DAMTP) – Emacs Lisp
• Phillip Trelford (Microsoft Research) – Winning the adPredict competition with functional programming

Drinks & nibbles will be provided.
