Haskell User Group Starter Kit

Want to start a Haskell User Group? These resources may help. They are geared towards a non-academic crowd who probably does not know anything about Haskell or Functional Programming and have regular meetings to talk about Haskell or FP. This page has a slightly different emphasis than a Haskell for Beginners one or a How to Learn Haskell page might. It specifically plays off the tendency for Haskell User Groups to have people with varying degrees of expertise/familiarity in Haskell.

Topics

Great topics to cover

Coding Dojo

Best exercises for a Haskell coding Dojo

Papers

Must-read papers for a non-academic non-FP crowd

1. Why Functional Programming Matters

2. Tackling the Awkward Squad

User group tips and tricks
