Introduction to Generic Programming

This session has ended. But you can still take this and other courses at the 47 Degrees Academy.

Have you ever wondered whether Haskell’s deriving facility could be used not only to write boring Eq and Show instances but something fancier? Well, it can by using the power of data type generic programming!

This 3-hour workshop will guide you through the shadows of one of the most interesting features of GHC. After this workshop, you’ll have a better understanding of the structure of data types, and how you can leverage that information to create functions which work over that structure. You can provide new items for the deriving list in your own library.

The workshop provides not only explanations, but also exercises for you to follow along. The rough schedule is as follows:

  • Me: Representing Haskell data types - the Generic type class
  • You: Writing some representations by hand
  • Me: Writing data type generic functions
  • You: Define your first type class with defaults
  • Me: Making good use of metadata
  • You: Define your second type class, using metadata
  • Me: Other approaches to generic programming

A Q&A session will immediately follow this webinar.

Is financial aid available for underrepresented or low-income groups?

Our industry is not diverse enough across many measures of representation. Nor is it easily accessible to many minorities or those in low-income scenarios. If you feel that you belong to an underrepresented minority or need help financially, please fill this form. We can apply a course voucher to your registered Academy account. The voucher can be redeemed against any paid course on a one-time basis. The voucher is non-transferable, non-refundable, and has no financial value.
