After fighting with Docker on OSX and the need for 2-way syncs, fsevents, etc. I developed a desire to get back to a simple(r) development on a linux based VM. This project is a jumping off point.

The idea of this series was to teach enough Haskell to be able to read Simon Marlow’s book of the same title. It turned out to be both a Haskell course and a selection of topics on parallelism and concurrency. There should be something interesting for both total beginners and experts.

These videos contain some good introductory material to Haskell and great coverage of monads and the IO monad in particular¹.

Milewski also has a video series on Category Theory which I’ve yet to watch.

Evadne Wu:

I still firmly hold the belief that iOS applications are either loss leaders or loss generators, that iOS devices themselves are thick terminals, and that a proper iOS execution strategy must be backed with a useful service either involving real world consequences (i.e. get a ride or get groceries delivered), or a wider cross-platform strategy (i.e. build your document on one platform, revise on another).
