Difference between revisions of "The Monad.Reader"

Revision as of 13:00, 19 November 2007

The Monad.Reader is an electronic magazine about all things Haskell. It is less formal than journal, but somehow more enduring than a wiki-page. There have been a wide variety of articles, including: exciting code fragments, intriguing puzzles, book reviews, tutorials, and even half-baked research ideas.

Latest Issue

The Monad.Reader Issue 9, the Summer of Code special, is now available. Issue 9 consists of the following three articles:

Cabal Configurations: Thomas Schilling
Darcs Patch Theory: Jason Dagit
TaiChi: how to check your types with serenity: Mathieu Boespflug

Feel free to browse the source files [1]. You can check out the entire repository using darcs:

darcs get http://sneezy.cs.nott.ac.uk/darcs/TMR/Issue9/

The source code and LaTeX files have all been released under a BSD-style license.

I'd welcome any discussion and feedback on the Talk page.

The name

The name is a pun, I'm afraid. A magazine is sometimes also referred to as a "reader". The articles are not necessarily about monads.
