We launched our monthly webinar series on Wednesday, April 11th

with our first webinar on How to Handle Asynchronous exceptions in

Haskell.

This webinar was the first in what will be a monthly series

covering topics in Haskell Programming, DevOps, Cloud Computing, Cryptocurrencies, FinTech, Medical Device Software, DataOps, and all the other great things we

do.

Webinar series launch is a huge success

To say our first webinar was a success is a huge understatement.

We had 427 registrants for this event from 6 different

continents. The only reason people from Antarctica didn't register

was that we didn't have their email addresses to send them a proper

invite. This first webinar was on exceptions, and the turnout was

exceptional!!

The webinar was hosted by Michael Snoyman, our VP of

Engineering. Chris Allen, our Engineer

Extraordinaire, managed the Q&A channel during the event.

The webinar took a close look at a common problem in Haskell - "How

to Handle Async Exceptions." If you are a true Haskell fan, this is

the webinar to watch to avoid some costly mistakes.

As

most software developers know many programming languages have

exceptions. To write programs correctly in such languages, you need

to write exception-safe code. This requirement applies to Haskell

as well. However, in Haskell, we have an extra twist: asynchronous

exceptions, which can be thrown to any thread at any

time.

This webinar explores:

• How Exceptions Work in Haskell

• What it means to be "async exception safe,"

• Give practical guidelines—with lots of examples
