Read the full transcription of the interview here () Rebecca Skinner - Author of “Effective Haskell“, Lead Software Engineer at Mercury & Member of the Committee Emily Pillmore - Head of Core Engineering at Kadena & Board Member of the Haskell Foundation RESOURCES Rebecca 👩🏻‍💻rebecca-s-b47378b @cercerilla Emily @mlep DESCRIPTION Put the power of Haskell to work in your programs, learning from an engineer who uses Haskell daily to get practical work done efficiently. Leverage powerful features like Monad Transformers and Type Families to build useful applications. Realize the benefits of a pure functional language, like protecting your code from side effects. Manage concurrent processes fearlessly. Apply functional techniques to working with databases and building RESTful services. Don’t get bogged down in theory, but learn to employ advanced programming concepts to solve real-world problems. Don’t just learn the syntax, but dive deeply into Haskell as you build efficient, well-tested programs. * Book description: © Pragmatic Programmers () RECOMMENDED BOOKS Rebecca Skinner • Effective Haskell () Vitaly Bragilevsky • Haskell in Depth () John Whitington • Haskell from the Very Beginning () James Stanier • Become an Effective Software Engineering Manager () Twitter () Instagram () LinkedIn () Facebook () Looking for a unique learning experience?
