Haskell ITMO course at CTD

Here you can find plan and presentations on the Haskell course authored by Dmitry Kovanikov and Arseniy Seroka with subsequent contributions by George Agapov, Ilya Peresadin, Roman Melnikov and Artem Yurchenko.

This course is always under development and always improving constantly because there's no limit for the best Haskell course.

You can always contact us via fp.ctd.itmo [at] serokell.io
