<br> Hi all,<br> I'm giving a presentation to an IEEE group on Embedded DSL's and<br> Haskell at the end of June. I need a 3 to 4 slide introduction to<br> Haskell. What suggestions does the community have? Is such a short<br>
intro possible?<br> It just needs to introduce the basics so I can show some code<br> without alienating the audience. I'm hoping some one else has<br> attempted this before, but if not, some boiler plate slides could<br>
be useful for every one!<br><br> -- /jve<br><br> _______________________________________________<br> Haskell-Cafe mailing list<br></div> <a href="mailto:Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org" target="_blank">Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org</a> <mailto:<a href="mailto:Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org" target="_blank">Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org</a>>
