We are happy to announce that we have been sponsoring free

webinars for over a year now. The feedback we have been receiving

from the IT community has been overwhelmingly positive. We have

been working towards producing a new webinar topic every month, and

we plan to keep moving at that pace. In this webinar, Michael

Snoyman, Vice President of Engineering at FP Complete, discusses

how to maximize the "Haskell Success Program". We

had 189 people registered for the event which aired on Wednesday,

May 1st at 10:00 am PDT.

About the Webinar

In this month's webinar, Michael

Snoyman demonstrated just how easy it is to get started with

maximizing FP Complete's "Haskell Success Program".

Topics covered:

During the webinar we tried to answer these questions:

• Why you should use Haskell

• The benefits of Haskell in a commercial setting

• How you can get your team to adopt more Haskell

• About the training resources we provide online

• How the FP Complete team can help your company succeed with Haskell

Watch the Webinar

We decided to include the chat log for this webinar, and it can

be seen at the end of this blog post.

We have a winner!

Do You Know FP Complete?

At FP Complete, we do so many things to help companies it's hard to

encapsulate our impact in a few words.  They say a picture is

worth a thousand words, so a video has to be worth 10,000 words (at

least). Therefore, to tell all we can in as little time as

possible, check out our explainer video. It's only 108 seconds

to get the full story of FP Complete.

We want your feedback for webinar topics

We would like to hear your suggestions for future webinar

topics. The simplest way to accomplish this is to add a comment to

this blog post with your suggestion. Alternatively, send your

suggestion via email to socialmedia@fpcomplete.com.

Webinar Chat Log

We find it useful to share what was chatted about during the

webinar. You can see the chat flow below.

00:06:56 Yanik Koval: hey

00:07:08 Chris Done: hey!

00:07:37 Yanik Koval: Will you record this?

00:07:51 Chris Done: yes, it's being recorded

00:08:02 Chris Done: it'll be uploaded to our YouTube channel

00:08:15 Yanik Koval: perfect, thank you

01:09:31 Do you mean 20% of Haskell gives 80% of the benefits? Is

that just a type?

01:16:30 Bruce Alspaugh: I see languages like Java have lots

of free or inexpensive MOOCs available, but it is hard to find very

many on platforms like EdX, Coursera, Linda, etc. but there are

very few for Haskell. Is there any effort underway to expand these

offerings?

01:19:22 : I have seen some university/academic lecturers

giving talks about teaching Haskell via MOOCs, but I'm not aware of

commercial initiatives in this area.

01:24:45 Bruce Alspaugh: Do you have any recommendations for

how to work with existing local user groups, or establishing new

Haskell-oriented user groups to encourage developers to learn

Haskell, and companies to start pilot projects?

01:35:13 Bruce Alspaugh: I see languages like Java have lots

of free or inexpensive MOOCs available on platforms like EdX,

Coursera, Lynda, etc., but there are very few available for

Haskell. Is there any effort underway to expand these

offerings?

01:39:51 Bruce Alspaugh: Is Haskell on the JVM using Eta or Frege a

viable option?

01:41:04 Byron Hale: To All Panelists : My experience with Python

is that it's like an elephant in a china-shop when it comes to

package management. A carefully curated system will be overwritten

without a by-your-leave. Python is the preferred language for

machine-learning. What can be done?

01:46:03 Bruce Alspaugh: Does Haskell have good libraries for PDF

report generation?

01:47:07 Byron Hale: For example, can Python be added to Nix?

Guix?

01:59:21 Dan Banta: Thank you.

01:59:36 Chris Done: Thanks all!!

01:59:53 Bulent Basaran: Thanks

You!
